This is an era of challenge, change, and opportunity. As the Academic Strategy Team, we’ve spent the past year researching trends, attending conferences, and gathering insights with customers and educational leaders across the educational landscape. During this keynote we shared the latest on AI, credentialing, education policy, and experiential learning. Attendees left inspired and armed with resources and ideas for the year ahead from some influential education leaders from across the globe.

Keynotes aren't just presentations—they’re launchpads for reflection, transformation, and connection. Whether you're searching for your next breakthrough, rethinking your edtech ecosystem, or just ready to feel inspired, our speakers will challenge you to think deeply, act boldly, and carry the magic of InstructureCon far beyond Spokane.

Greetings, operatives—veterans of virtual classrooms, defenders of digital equity, and seekers of the sacred schedule!

This summer, we gather in the misty wilds of the Pacific Northwest for a conference unlike any other. The official description promises tractorbeams, AI revelations, accessibility upgrades, and maybe even a rogue Bigfoot sighting. But let’s be real: between the keynote and the closing reception, it’s easy to get lost in the fog.

That’s where I come in.

I’ve always believed in scaling technologies that help people advocate for themselves. And it’s not just any tech - it’s edtech. That’s why Instructure’s motto, “doing well while doing good,” resonates so deeply with me. How lucky are we to be part of this mission? In this session, I’ll show you what that looks like in practice, through two powerful examples from Elon University and Florida Gulf Coast University.

Hack Night is back and better than ever. A long-time InstructureCon favorite, Hack Night has always been the place to share ideas, solve challenges, and connect with peers and Instructure teams. This year, we’re taking it up a notch with new ways to interact, collaborate, and influence what’s next for our products. Whether you’re an educator, admin, designer, or just curious – there’s a space for you. Explore the all-new format and how you can get involved.

Accessibility doesn’t have to be mystifying or intimidating. In fact, with the right tools and guidance, it can become one of the most empowering parts of your digital teaching practice.

Hey there, fellow data explorers! I’d love to personally invite you to attend my session at InstructureCon 2025, where I’ll be unveiling a couple of brand-new features that admins have been asking for.
