No two events are alike. From conferences to performances, the need for event registration is as different as the activities. That’s why Skvare’s expert developers have contributed the Event Registration Button Label extension for CiviCRM.
People are at the heart of any organization, whether it’s volunteers, students, or clients, and getting the most out of your technology can help organize them to better accomplish your goals.

Yesterday we had a second video call about the future of caldera. Main question was how can we collaborate together whilst supporting clients who are currently using caldera and who can not migrate easily within a short time.
Most of us had clients who are using Caldera Forms plugin and those forms are not easily rebuild in another tool (if there was another tool available, more on that later).
Security for your CiviCRM install is important, especially this time of the year. Because of two recent, massively exploited vulnerabilities in Wordpress, I'm posting this with some simple advice for small organizations that might not think they can do anything about security, or that it might not affect them.
At the end of this month the wordpress plugin Caldera Forms will be end-of-life. Meaning that the maintainer behind this plugin won't provide any official updates anymore.

We know CiviCRM is great for receiving payments in – be it donations, ticket sales or members
Imagine you have a ‘contact us’ or 'sign-up for our newsletter' or 'register for our next event' form on your website. How much time would you save if each webform submission would be automatically recorded in your CiviCRM database? What if you could automatically dispatch emails, renew memberships, add contact tags, etc. as that data is being saved? Full website CiviCRM integration provides organizations with an opportunity to optimize their workflows and significant time savings.

Rich answered questions such as:
Howdy folks!

On Monday November 22nd we have planned a CiviCRM Webinar for current users and interested parties. The rest of this blog will be in Dutch, since the meetup / webinar is aimed at organisations in Belgium/Flanders and The Netherlands.
For English speaking users: we will plan another webinar in January 2022.

Over the last year the Core Team have been working hard on Search Kit - a new way of searching and reporting on data in CiviCRM.
Although still in beta, Search Kit is already a very powerful tool. It’s also fast, which makes it particularly pleasing to use. It’s a quietly revolutionary feature.
Recently, CiviCRM user 9to5 decided they wanted to take advantage of some of the features that Action Network provides, including tools that make it easy for constituents in the USA to contact their elected representatives.
