BIE Application

Thank you for your interest in joining the Blackboard Idea Exchange™. A primary goal for the BIE is to recruit a diverse and representative community of clients to provide feedback to our organization. Selection of BIE members is at Blackboard's sole discretion. Please review the Blackboard Idea Exchange Framework Documents, which can be found on the Blackboard Idea Exchange tab at Connections for more specifics about the program.

We are continuing to accept client applications for membership. We encourage clients owning any of Blackboard's products to apply. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at the number below. Thank you!
