TLCC 2023 - Open Discussion!

With one week until TLCC 2023, I wanted to create an open discussion place if folks wanted to talk! A few open questions to get started:

-What session are you most excited about attending?

-If you're attending TLCC for the first time do you have any questions you'd love to get feedback on?

-If you're a TLCC pro, do you have any advice for newcomers?

-Have you submitted (or are you planning to submit) and open discussion topic? If so, what are you hoping to talk about?

-What are your top three goals for TLCC?

  • Hi all.

    It's my first TLCC. I'm most excited about Solutions Center Sweat smile

    My main mission is to learn more about segmentation. I am also looking forward to hearing about trends and doing the 5k run.

    I am just learning about community discussions, pasted below from the app. Collen/others, could you give an example of a question you're submitting?

    Information

    Be a co-creator and help bring content and discussions that matters to you!

    In community discussions, you will be able to propose and lead discussions with your peers in an open forum format. This is a great opportunity to add important topics to the program.

    Community discussions were introduced last year, replacing previous open-space discussions. While the format is slightly modified, the principles remain very similar:

    • Whoever comes are the right people.
    • Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
    • Whenever it starts is the right time.
    • Whenever it’s over, it’s over.
    • Wherever it happens is the right place.
  • Hi JM, so glad to have you joining us! In regards to the community discussions, I haven't submitted a topic (yet), but last year I hosted a discussion about donor benefit fulfillment. I've even still got the notes (apologies as they're a bit scattered). I've also seen discussions about recurring gifts, rethinking galas/special events, managing up with gift officers, so it's really open to whatever you want to talk about!
