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.

Not every learner’s path is linear—and today’s institutions are meeting students where they are, whether that’s through targeted offerings or through flexible, credentialed, and workforce-aligned programs. I’m excited to walk you through how Canvas, Catalog, and Canvas Credentials can come together to support the full learner journey, from registration to real-world recognition.

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.

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.

We’ll explore how Parchment, working alongside Canvas, helps districts like Harnett County Schools remove the invisible barriers that can stand between students and their next opportunity—whether that’s enrollment in another school, a jump to higher ed, or entry into the workforce.

RCE gives education leaders actionable evidence—often while students are still in the same classrooms—so they can lead with confidence, build a culture of learning, and make smarter, data-informed decisions. And the best part? It’s doable, even without a research background.

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.

At InstructureCon, we’ll explore how the Instructure Ed-cosystem can help schools and districts respond proactively to absenteeism in more meaningful ways.
