CanvasCon Washington D.C.

Those bastards.

When I think of Washington D.C. the first thing I think of is Canada. I guess I really haven't quite forgiven those guys for burning down the White House in 1814. I mean, a lot of folks think it was the British, but really, the Canadians were behind the whole thing. Seriously - you should probably look into it.

The other thing I think about is earthquakes. Even though, according to the USGS, there hasn't ever been an earthquake actually centered in the District of Columbia, this last one kind of freaked everyone out - and now the Washington monument is closed.

The Washington Monument has a complex and
somewhat checkered past.

Earthquakes, politicians and Canadians aside, we're going to host a regional conference in Washington D.C. on October 27th. InstructureCon 2011 was such a great success, we're going to try out a smaller, regional format for customers and folks interested in Canvas. The format will be similar to InstructureCon in that we'll have two tracks to choose from - the techno-geek track and the "normal people" track. It'll be awesome.

Oh, and we totally invited Blackboard to a dance-off at the conference.

Keep learning,
