Three half-days. Expert-led sessions. Practical strategies you can use immediately. Join 600+ teachers, administrators, instructional coaches, and IT professionals from across the U.S. and around the world – and leave with the AI skills to work smarter, lead better, and make a bigger difference.

AI 26 Why Attend

Your Story Sounds Familiar.

Every day, you show up for your students and your school. You do more with less. You adapt, improvise, and find a way.

Then AI arrived, and suddenly, everyone has an opinion, a mandate, or a question they expect you to answer.

You’re not behind. But you deserve better tools, better strategies, and a community that gets it.

That’s why this conference exists.

AI for Educators is….

For Teachers
You’re already doing the hard work. AI should make it lighter, not add to the pile. Learn practical workflows for lesson planning, assessment, feedback, and communication that give you more time to focus on what only you can do: connect with your students.
For Administrators and Instructional Coaches
Your staff is looking to you for answers about AI – and the pressure to have a plan is real. Walk away with frameworks for creating a policy, supporting hesitant teachers, and leading your campus through AI adoption with confidence and clarity.
For IT Directors and Tech Coordinators
You’re the last one consulted and the first one called when something goes wrong. AI tools are appearing in your district before anyone asked if the network could handle it or whether student data would be protected. You need more than enthusiasm. You need answers.

This conference gives you the technical and strategic grounding to lead from the front: vetting tools before they’re adopted, building acceptable use policies that actually hold up, and becoming the trusted voice that helps your district move forward safely, not just quickly.

For Everyone
AI is reshaping what students will face in the world beyond your classroom. You need to understand it well enough to set expectations, protect academic integrity, and guide students through it, whatever your district’s access policies allow.
