Artificial Intelligence has the potential to create more impactful, individualized learning journeys that maximize learning experiences at every step, and streamline educator’s workload. With the wildly fast-paced introduction of new AI tools, we’re forced to process a new array of challenges and opportunities almost daily.

How might we reduce the fear and anxiety surrounding AI by utilizing AI tools that empower educators to create more impactful, personalized learner opportunities, while also equipping students for career success?

Our popular action-packed Mini Summit event format allows us to explore a wide array of aspects of hot topics from diverse viewpoints in a four hour window.
