Has anyone else noticed that there is nothing Education related at the Tessitura Conference in Denver? I'm just wondering when Tessitura will acknowledge that there are so many of us who use Tessitura for our Education departments. I'm just curious how others feel.
Hi Michelle, Planning for TLCC Denver was a bit different this year, because we were uncertain how people would feel about traveling to large in-person gatherings. When planning content, we considered past conference attendance, attendance at last year’s virtual TLCC, and activity by job-role on the website. Individuals in Education roles were not well-represented in any of those datasets. Therefore, our programming for 2022 is more focused on Fundraising, Ticketing, Marketing and Digital.
As in past conferences, all attendees are welcome to bring topics to community-led discussions, and there are many opportunities to do so throughout the conference.
Thank you for your feedback. As we plan future conferences, we will definitely keep in mind your interest in seeing more Education content.
Thanks so much for your response, Kristen. I'm not going to TLCC this year, but I'm hopeful that future conferences will include more Education-related programming. I honestly think that the reason you didn't see a lot of representation from Education staff at the virtual conferences is that there wasn't any content for us to attend. I know that Education is a growth area for Tessitura, so it would be great to include us in the future. I'm sure you'd get Education department personnel to attend if we had more options. I know I'd push harder to be sent. Thank you!!
