Hello,
I'm an instructional systems specialists.
Our university is procuring "open-source" CANVAS LMS, as part of an integrated student information and learning management systems.
Several of us are considering attending the InstructureCon 2017 conference, and concerned the conference may NOT be for those institutions who have the "open-source" version of CANVAS LMS.
Will those of us, whose institutions have the open-source CANVAS LMS, gain valuable information and training on how to use the system?
Please advise promptly, as we have to submit request through our agency for conference attendance very soon.
Sincerely,
Matthew J. Correia, Civ, DAFC

Thanks to all who responded to my enquiry. You have all provided valuable information and assurance that my trip to InstructureCon 2017 is worth the investment. I intend to participate in two preconference sessions, and look forward to learning alot more about Canvas!

Yes that's right we have been running open source/non-hosted Canvas for almost 5 years and attended instructureCon every year since. We would love to see more open source installations to collaborate/share and connect. Please connect with SFU from Vancouver, BC while you are there!
Its actually even MORE useful to come to instructurecon -- not just cuz its a fun party but for the support. As open source installs we dont get the official support from instructure so this crowdsource and connections we make from InstructureCon bring the utmost value for such institutions. My colleague will be at the hacknight and I highly recommend you go hang out with him there.
