troyer.59‌ That's a fair point -  I've put typos in my original explanation, but the problem is still occurring for me. To update my example with the correct dates:  Keynote on Wed 26 July 09:00 - 09:45am (Denver time) should be a calendar appointment converted to Thu 27 July 00:30 - 01:15am (Adelaide time). However, the appointment is created for  Fri 28 July 00:30 - 01:15am. I've taken a screenshot below of the bizzabo agenda and the Outlook calendar event created from the keynote. ... View more

Thanks Deactivated user‌! It's helpful to confirm that it's not possible to track clicked links when they are part of the HTML of the page, only when they are discrete links added to a module. That's what I was suspecting to be the case. ... View more

Thank you Deactivated user‌ for the confirmation. This is what  @a1222679 ‌ and I had determined. Good to have it confirmed so we know we're not crazy, and looking forward to that being fixed so it's included in the Canvas Data.  ... View more

*crickets* Deactivated user‌ - do you or any of your data-lovin' Instructure colleagues know the answer? Thanks! ... View more

Hey Deactivated user‌, in a brief chat recently in Melbourne you indicated this should be possible. We didn't dig into the details together, but it sounds like this is the same query? ... View more

Thanks jburrell‌. I'm just getting in early to earn my 'superspy' badge.  ... View more

+1 for  @Chris_Munzo ‌'s comment. I can't emphasise enough how frustrating it is for the venue to be located in the middle of nowhere. Sorry to anyone at Instructure who thinks it's a great location, but it's really not ideal. My commute involves 23 hrs of travel from Australia, only to arrive .... then rent a car and drive another 2 hours into mountainous terrain on the wrong side of the road. The feeling of arriving in Denver and still being a long way from the actual event is "grr". At the other end of the conference, the unconference being moved to Friday means rushing off early just to get on the first of my three flights home, or else I need to wait another day before departing the USA. If the conference was in a major city, rather than the back of beyond, it would not have the same impact. ... View more

One note about accommodation if it returns to Keystone - apparently the nearby La Quinta hotel is not an appealing place to stay. I heard of people who booked it online and then ended up paying a lot more to get out to another hotel when they arrived and found the room quality. ... View more

I overheard someone saying there was full time daycare available, to the point you could drop your kid off in the morning and collect them at 5pm, and they'd be entertained all day. Perhaps that was anecdotal rather than accurate? As a non-parent, it all sounded good enough to me. Combined with the bikes, kayaks, etc, it had seemed like a very family friendly place (to me as someone without kids and who didn't use the toys anyway). Sorry to hear your experience was different. It would have been annoying to discover it as a non-suitable location due to the isolation from Denver. ... View more

You've triggered a couple more thoughts from me... 1. I didn't really understand the theme at times. As an Australian, the whole idea of US summer camp was something I had zero emotional connection with, so while I was impressed with the marketing team having atten to detail with the theme design, it didn't gel with me. I have been to 5 BbWorlds and they have energy without the need to chase swag, collect badges from various locations, and hike to a rainy field to stand with people briefly. My focus was on information gathering and networking, and the theme worked against that in many cases. 2. Moving the vendor hall was a peculiar approach. Some people chased swag in the first session. Maybe I've been to more conferences now and swag is less important? I felt like one of the few who would go to a booth to look at the product and leave empty handed. I'd paced myself, expecting them to be there each day and then found they were gone after the first evening. I didn't realise they were relocated initially and by the time I stumbled over the new location, some had gone, and others felt jammed together in a corner. ... View more

Room for improvement Location: Although some people loved the location, I admit to not caring if it's in a city or a rural location. That said, I've never understood the mentality of attending a conference, and then wandering off in the middle of it (down the street, kayaking, or up a mountain). I experienced Keystone only as a series of disconnected places (bedroom vs conference centre vs lodge) so it could be moved if necessary. Wifi: This was woefully inadequate, forcing me to use a data plan which I'd hoped to avoid. App: I agree with  @bcrook ​ that the app needed *all* sessions, and more information. Given the wifi situation, I'd have preferred to have the information available in the app without the need to be connected. Perhaps use a service that downloads new schedule updates, and stores it offline so it's quick to check, but stays up to date? Duration: An extra day of conference would support the spreading of sessions a little more, and avoid the problem of the Canvas Roadmap being jammed up against client sessions. Food in the rain: I arrived at the hoedown a bit later than others, and by that time, the food was wet, including a bowl of wet shredded cheese with water pooling in the bottom of the bowl. Mmmm.... Good Hack night / Course Hack Night: Definitely a winner, great chance to explore and well organised without being structured. Movie nights were a good idea, though the selected movies were not really crowdpleasers, and the rain on top of that killed them. Focus on data and evidence through the various sessions. ... View more
