InstructureCon 2013: Build Your Own Awesome is less than a week away. If you’re attending, we hope you’re as excited as we are. We can hardly stand the anticipation. This year’s conference is going to blow the others out of the water.
80s night will be totally bodacious.As you prepare/pack/plan for the trip, here are a few details and tips that we thought might be helpful.
KICKOFF + KEYNOTE
You won't want to miss our official conference kickoff on Tuesday, June 18 at 4:30 p.m. Plan on joining us outdoors at the Pavilion to hear a keynote by Instructure CEO Josh Coates. Then join us for dinner and a very special reception. And by "very special" we mean "you'll kick yourself for missing it." Trust us.
MORE KEYNOTES
Our keynote for Wednesday, June 19 will focus on the importance of APIs, co-presented by a power trio of Kin Lane (API evangelist), Audrey Watters (edtech journalist for Hack Education), and Brian Whitmer (Instructure co-founder and chief product officer). Our keynote for Thursday, June 20 will be given by Richard Culatta, acting director of the Office of Educational Technology.

80S PARTY + AWESOME TO THE MAX
That's right—we're, like, totally having an 80s party on the final night, Thursday June 20. Come dressed in your best/worst 80s clothes—jelly bracelets, crimped hair, Motley Crue t-shirt, whatever's your thing. There'll be prizes for our favorite 80s-inspired costumes. So, gag yourself with a spoon or whatever it takes to get your bad 80s self ready because IT. IS. ON.
SWAG
Make sure to leave room in your suitcase because you’re going to get a bunch of swag, including a couple t-shirts and a conference jacket. Some lucky souls will take home some bigger raffle prizes.
PANDA PINS
A new feature this year is the panda lanyard pin. Come prepared to say something nice about Canvas and there's a panda pin in your future.
DRESS CODE
Casual (except for our 80s party, when the dress code will be "tubular"). Don’t forget that you'll be up in the mountains where the nights can get a little chilly.
