Down in Australia, the festivities even reached new heights with a rooftop celebration! From sessions on building your own Copilot using Copilot Studio, making Org Design sexy again, to understanding privacy - there was something for everyone. We even had the chance to practice breathing techniques and followed a guided meditation. Beyond the insightful sessions, Explore XL provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow pioneers and celebrate our collective achievements. In addition to the celebrations, we shared important business updates with our pioneers. The highlight of Explore XL? The Pioneer Award! This year’s Dutch Pioneer Award goes to Jeffrey Willemsen.

ACF gains insights and promotes impact visibility with Azure! 💡🌿 The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is Australia’s leading national environmental organisation. With a community of over 700,000 people, ACF advocates for thriving forests, rivers, wildlife, and communities. ACF had several CRM systems, Blackboard and Nation Builder, which housed critical supporter and donor information but lacked integration, hindering effective reporting and analytics. They needed a unified view of their supporters for better insights and decision-making. To address this, ACF partnered with Rapid Circle to develop a solution. Rapid Circle assessed ACF’s data infrastructure and co-designed a long-term solution using Microsoft Azure. This integration enabled advanced analytics and real-time reporting, providing ACF with a comprehensive view of their supporter base. Want to know more?
