[ARCHIVED] Instructional designers at InstructureCon

[susan_cornish]

Heading to InstructureCon 2017 for the first time this year. I'm from Sydney, and hoping to meet up with Instructional Designers from all over. Is there usually a group meetup?

[Adrienne_J_Gaut]

hi Susan! I don't recall any specific meet-up of IDs last year, but there are many (many) IDs at InstCon to bump into. It's a fabulous idea, an ID meet-up. I'm wondering about a social meet-up at a lunch one of the days, sort of a 'HEY! IDs! Come sit over in this part of the field!'  I'll ask my CSM about it - see what could be possible. A word-of-mouth meet-up could work, advertise with Twitter, and maybe get it in a morning announcement. Probably not a room available, but doing a breakfast meet-up or lunch within that block to have a mixer and get to know others, networking, etc. 

Bookmarking this idea! I'll ask Libby on our next call

Great idea Adrienne.

Love this idea,  @Adrienne_J_Gaut ! Looking forward to what lkushma‌ has to say!

[Adrienne_J_Gaut]

Stay tuned! We're working out the details of an ID meet-up/networking even on Wed, probably during lunch or breakfast. The idea is to get to know some familiar faces and other IDs at the start of InstCon to carry you through the rest of the week and already knowing some peeps.

We'll post back here in Community as well as the ID Community Group and on Twitter using the #InstCon tag.

Great idea!  I am interested in meeting other IDs.  We just switched to Canvas, and this will be my first IntructureCon.

I would certainly be interested in attending such a meetup, because I will likely be hiring such a position in the coming months. I have a pile of questions........
