Have Something Worth Sharing? We Want to Hear It.

If you’re doing real, meaningful work with AI in your classroom, your campus, or your district, this is your stage.

We’re not looking for introductory overviews or tool showcases. We want sessions that show AI in action: practical, current, and directly relevant to how educators teach, lead, and work. If your session changes what someone does on Monday morning, it belongs here.

What we’re looking for:

  • Practical application over product promotion
  • Current, relevant AI use, not AI 101
  • Strategies that impact the classroom, support leaders, or enhance educator workflow

The details:

  • Sessions are 45 minutes long
  • Call for Presentations: March 1-15
  • Main presenters with an accepted session receive a discounted registration rate of $29
