This is my first D2L connection and I was impressed. I’m walking away with more knowledge than I arrived with.

 – Attendee, D2L Connection: Australia 2024

Made real connections with D2L and other users and now feel part of the community. All speakers and D2L reps including co-founder were very approachable and genuinely wanted to connect with us all. Good spread of topics, speakers and formats.

The speakers were great this year. I was only going to attend 1 day, but went to both because I enjoyed them.
