Ever wonder who the man (or woman) behind the curtain is on your favorite Convio powered site (sort of like the Wizard of Oz but in a less ruby slippers are more online strategy kind of way)?

I already went to the Convio Summit and Salesforce Dreamforce conferences this fiscal year. And then my friends at Convio got together with the good folks at NTEN and did something wonderful. But I figure if I can’t get or use the scholarship, I want to help someone else get there. Want to help? It will be worth it.

Yesterday the news was that Blackbaud had laid off 50 employees it acquired when it bought Convio in May. In what was said to be an unrelated development, they also announced the departure of Gene Austin, the former CEO of Convio. The Blackbaud/Convio staff I spoke with seemed taken aback by this decision.
