Looking for ideas for your BbWorld Commerce '09 proposal? Here are some ideas provided by Blackboard's clients and key staff members.  These are only suggestions to get you thinking.  You can present individually, with co-presenters or on a panel.  We encourage you to get together with campus peers to develop program ideas.  Remember that presenting is not only a way to tell your peers about your successes but is also a great way to become known in the industry.
