BbWorld® Commerce - Blackboard's annual conference for users of the Blackboard Commerce Suite™ - will return to the greater Phoenix area in 2008. BbWorld® Commerce '08 will take place March 9-12, 2008 at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort.

"Following BbWorld Commerce '07, we heard overwhelmingly from clients that holding our annual conference in Phoenix provided them with unparalleled opportunities to interact with Blackboard staff," said Russ Carlson, Blackboard Commerce President. "BbWorld Commerce is far and away the best opportunity for our clients to network with each other and share best practices. This event should not be missed."

BbWorld Commerce '08 is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with hundreds of clients, partners, and Blackboard staff attending to network, share best practices, and have fun.

“Bb World ’07 rates as one of the best Blackboard conferences for us. We learned so much about Universal Edition, brought home tangible items to work on, and met new people. What more could you ask for? Blackboard did an excellent job in putting the whole conference package together.”
Jeanine Brooks
University of Alabama


“I have come to this conference 14 straight years and every time I learn new ways to improve my card system. BbWorld ’07 was one of the best conferences in the last few years and the networking between schools and Blackboard was excellent.”
Doug Olson
Tulane University


“Blackboard hosted a great meeting. Not only was the weather perfect but the surroundings allowed us all to absorb lots of good information. I also can't remember when I've attended a conference and had the opportunity to talk with practically every staff member from the host vendor, across all divisions of the company. BbWorld was money well spent.”
Bill Pottle
Colby College


“The intimate setting of the conference was relaxing yet educational, with ample opportunity to meet and interact with Blackboard staff. Networking and sharing best practices among peers was definitely a highlight! I've come away with plenty of new ideas, some of which will give us a more productive card office and some that will provide new services to our campus community.”
Mike Baker
Messiah College


“I found the Bb World Commerce conference to be extremely beneficial to me. The sessions were all well-crafted with good content. The best part of my Bb World experience was the networking opportunity it presented. To be able to sit down in person with my colleagues and Blackboard staff and share experiences was invaluable.”
Bill Moran
Xavier University
