tl;dr: This is an open discussion where you all can publicly share your qualitative thoughts and feedback about InstructureCon 2015! Please post before reading the comments from others. Then feel free to reply to others!

So InstructureCon 2015 came, took our breath away (thanks Olivia), and now it's over. Fortunately the great sessions, ideas, and connections we made, can live on within our Canvas Community and the InstructureCon 2015 community space!

Please be sure to take that survey that our marketing team sends out, so we can make instcon even better next year. That quantitative feedback is invaluable.

In addition we wanted to have an open discussion where you all can publicly share your qualitative thoughts and feedback about InstructureCon 2015!

Here's some things you might want to talk about: the sessions, the keynotes, the general sessions, the activities, the online schedule, the printed schedule, opportunities to connect, ideas for the community team to improve community interaction and engagement.

Thanks for your help Canvas Community...  We ❤️ you!

I enjoyed InstructureCon very much but was disappointed when the workshop descriptions really didn't match the presentations--some not even close. I am a newbie and was very selective when choosing which I would attend. I really needed to bring back lots of info appropriate to my level of experience.

Regarding the venue food: the food was OK but I bet it was expensive for the quality. I appreciated the attempt to always have water handy and snacks at different times. The punch card was a great idea but maybe we could have had some explanation from the outset regarding the card and the book.

Snacks: As someone who is allergic to chocolate, I really liked 2014's build your own trail mix snack option. Plus, I like (somewhat more) healthy snacks over candy bars.

Amen! This was what I forgot to add to my original comment. Healthier snacks PLEASE! Candy is NOT a motivator and really not what I needed on an already queasy-from-the-altitude tummy.

I think I added everyone who attended or showed interest in the InstCon Uncon, but if I missed you, here's your chance to get in the game EXTRA early this year!

I am already following. Hope that is all I needed to do.  If not, then let me know, Kona!

[kona]

Nope, that's it!

I wish I could mark this as helpful twice.
