Educause x Canva

Creativity met cutting-edge tech in the heart of Nashville as Canva took center stage at the 2025 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference and let’s just say, their booth was the place to be. Among the sea of higher-ed innovators and tech enthusiasts, Canva’s activation turned imagination into something you could actually hold in your hands.

Our live customization team joined forces with Canva to bring their powerful AI image generator to the people. Attendees stepped up to sleek workstations, typed in their wildest ideas, and watched as Canva’s AI transformed their vision into stunning, original notebook cover art in seconds. From there, our crew took over, printing each digital masterpiece on sublimation paper, pressing it onto blank notebooks, and handing back a tangible work of art. The result? A flood of awe, applause, and “Wait, I made this?!” moments.

Each notebook became a one-of-a-kind creation—part tech experiment, part personal keepsake—that perfectly captured the spirit of the conference: innovation through creativity. Canva’s booth didn’t just showcase technology; it celebrated the power of imagination, collaboration, and design thinking. And by the end of the weekend, every attendee who walked away with their custom notebook walked away inspired.
