Job-Alike Conversation on Artificial Intelligence in Education
November 21- 22, 2025

Join colleagues for a professional learning weekend focused on the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in education. This lightly structured “job-alike” conversation is designed to connect educators with shared interests, provide time to learn together, and spark collaboration across schools.

We are thrilled to welcome Ken Shelton as our special guest. Ken is a multi-award-winning educator, best-selling author, and global thought leader in educational technology, leadership development, and AI in education. With over 20 years of experience, he has advised schools and organizations worldwide on inclusive learning, responsible AI, and school transformation. His keynote on Saturday, November 22 will anchor the conversation and set the stage for meaningful dialogue.
