What I’m looking forward to sharing with you.
I’m inviting you to a session that’s all about pushing the edges of what Canvas can do, and then stepping beyond them. At InstructureCon 2025, I’ll be sharing stories, strategies, and creative solutions from our Custom Development team that show just how far the platform can go when you’re not afraid to get a little weird (in the best way).
One thing I would say that excites me about custom dev is that we are super creative in solving otherwise impossible problems or limitations. We are hoping to highlight how your Canvas experience doesn't have to end when people run into limitations or roadblocks. Our team is great at finding unique ways to overcome those.
From “I wish Canvas could…” to “I can’t believe Canvas just did that,” we’ll show how custom dev opens doors, connects systems, and makes the seemingly impossible not just possible—but scalable. If your institution has ever hit a Canvas wall, this session might just be the secret tunnel you didn’t know existed.
Who I’m most excited to see in the audience.
The more the merrier—but these people should definitely beam into this session.
- Admins and IT leaders looking for ways to make Canvas fit their unique needs
- Strategic thinkers trying to tie Canvas into a larger tech ecosystem
- Tech-savvy tinkerers who see a challenge and want to build their way through it
Clues & Artifacts for you.
No need to wander the woods alone.
See You at InstCon25!
Whether you’re chasing the Chupacabra or chasing down that one feature Canvas almost has, this session will show you how to go beyond the ordinary with creative, custom-built solutions.
Got something you wish Canvas could do—or a roadblock you’ve been circling? Share it in the comments below! I’d love to hear your ideas and maybe even show off a solution during the session.
