Thank you, attendees, for participating in the 2026 AI for Educators Conference.
We hope to see you at another TCEA event soon.
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
For Administrators and Instructional Coaches
For IT Directors and Tech Coordinators
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.

– Pam, Technology Training Coordinator
Being able to revisit all the sessions is so important to me as I build my own professional development and identify what my colleagues need to know—along with new tools to introduce them to.
– Christine, Teacher Librarian
We need to learn about AI, dive in, and create opportunities—for our students and ourselves. There are so many resources out there; we just need to know how to use them.
– Jennifer, Instructional Technologist
