SpringyCamp is our annual virtual conference — fun, informative, and totally free for all Springshare clients. Presenters showcase the exciting and unique ways they're using their Springy tools, while attendees get to ask questions and take inspiration and ideas from their fellow Springy users.
We had a blast celebrating the 10th(!) anniversary at SpringyCamp 2022 last July! To watch the recordings, sign in with your LibApps account.

The first round of applications is due 5/26.
Self-Paced Learning with SpringyU
Dive deeper with the self-guided tutorials available in SpringyU! We've got three types of instruction for you:
Blocks
Coming in at under 7 minutes apiece, each Block gives you a video and list of tasks teaching you how to use a specific function of one Springy tool.
Courses
Each Course will help you set up, configure, or manage parts of a single Springy app by walking you through a group of blocks.
Projects
Tackle more advanced uses of your Springy apps, like onboarding new staff or exploring app integrations, with our SpringyU Projects.
Head's up! SpringyU is a work in progress. We'll be bringing you more Blocks, Courses, and Projects for all the different Springy apps, and we appreciate your patience as we build out this content.
To access SpringyU, sign in with your LibApps account.
