Join us in November/December for the biggest CiviCRM event of the year. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about CiviCRM and get involved in the community.

CiviCRM Manchester takes place over a ten-day period from 29 November to 8 December. There is lots happening - whether you are new to CiviCRM or have been using it for years, there will be something for you. This is an event that you can't afford to miss so book your place now!

From the moment a prospect first learns about your association until they evolve into a loyal member, a journey unfolds that is filled with interactions, engagement, and growth.

We've harnessed the magic of CiviCRM as an effective tool in our member lounge portal to manage interactions, engage members, and foster meaningful relationships.

This free event is a great opportunity to meet other CiviCRM users, share best practice and learn from each other.

Some highlights:

This may be of more importance to anyone who ran some queries to delete old CiviCase revisions, but can affect anyone who uses the Schedule Followup section at the bottom of the activity form regularly, either on case activities or non-case activities.

Some activities you didn't mean to delete may have been deleted as well. For more information see https://lab.civicrm.org/-/snippets/93

Whenever a new CiviCRM version is released, the announcements tend to focus on new features, which lately have been mostly improvements to SearchKit, FormBuilder and Api4, the underlying tools that will help build new CiviCRM interfaces. While you can already use SearchKit/FormBuilder for custom listings and forms, out of the box, the improvements are not very visible.

The first meeting of the newly constituted CiviCRM Community Council was held July, 13, 2023.

It’s tough not to go down memory lane and talk about the fact that CiviCRM used to support a version that didn’t require a content management system. Alas, it was an idea that was ahead of its time! For whatever reason CiviCRM Standalone faded away, but not quite into oblivion. Over the years there were folks that tried to keep it going and for good reason; it lacks the baggage of any of the CMS’s.

Embracing Age is a small Christian charity with a big mission to mobilise volunteers to befriend care home residents, support informal carers and help churches in their work with older people. They are giving a talk on 13 September 2023 about their journey to integrate CiviCRM.

There are 11 positions on the council, and we had 11 individuals with two community members who vouched for them, so they are all acclaimed.

You have a lot of choices when building a membership website. Our association clients often use a large Association Management System or try to build a fully custom member database. This makes their database difficult to use and manage. Choosing the right approach and technology can make your member management easier.
