One of the best ways to connect with others in the Community? Go Live.

Instructure Live is where Community members come together in real time to share ideas, ask questions, and dig deeper into topics they care about. Whether it's a casual discussion, a how-to walkthrough, or a collaborative brainstorm, these sessions are all about connection, learning, and energy.

And the best part? Anyone can host. You don’t need a fancy setup or a formal presentation—just a topic you care about and a willingness to bring people together. And, like authoring blogs, hosting events in the Instructure Community can earn you badges and recognition for your contributions!

 

Why Host a Live Event?

Live events are a unique way to:

  • Spark discussion around a specific topic or challenge
  • Showcase a project, strategy, or success story
  • Exchange ideas and workflows with peers across institutions
  • Test a new idea or gather feedback in real time
  • Grow your professional voice in a welcoming space

If you’ve ever thought, “I learned a lot by completing this process” or “I’d love to hear how others handle this” that’s your sign—you could host an amazing Instructure Live event! 

 

What Does a Live Event Look Like?

Every Instructure Live session is different—and that’s the beauty of it. 

Sessions might include:

  • A short presentation or demo
  • Open Q&A or group conversation
  • Panel discussions with multiple speakers
  • Hands-on exploration of a feature, integration, or tool

Most sessions run for 30–60 minutes and are hosted via Zoom. Most customer-hosted events are informal, Community-driven, and collaborative by nature.
