- Absolutely beautiful location and weather. Compared to the hot and muggy summer in the DC Metro region, the low humidity and cool evenings are just what the doctor ordered.
- Interesting pre-conference workshops. I attended a workshop on Canvas Data and another on Canvas API basics, and both were interesting. There wasn't a whole lot new (to me), but there were some nice tidbits I could pick up.
- Enjoyable sessions. It's always interesting to hear and see what others are doing, and the sessions were a great chance to see the scope of what folks are doing with Canvas.
- A well-received presentation. Having only attended Instructurecon once previously, we were a little nervous about whether our presentation on Canvas data would hit the right note for the conference. The generally positive audience reaction suggests that we did something right.
- A great Carnival Night event. Lots of good food and interesting people.
There were a couple of negatives, however:
- Lots of people. Being in a crowded place tends to tire me out and although everyone was very friendly and pleasant, sometimes you just want a little "alone" time.
- First day altitude effects. The price paid for the beautiful location is that it is at 9.000 feet above sea level. That takes a little getting used to, especially on arrival day.
Overall, the good outweighed the bad, so I'm looking forward to future Instructurecons.
