Designing the Future of Learning
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence
We stand at the intersection of education, technology, and community, leading critical conversations about how emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence, are transforming learning.
We're not just focusing on today's AI tools—we're helping communities prepare for the emerging technologies that will shape education for decades to come.
Our strength lies in fostering meaningful collaboration across sectors. We don't just convene conversations—we empower stakeholders to understand their role in shaping AI's impact on education.

AI Summits
In collaboration with AI experts and local leaders, AI Summits facilitate critical cross-sector conversations for the integration of artificial intelligence within communities. We empower regions to align student learning, workforce pathways, and economic development within a regional context.
