AI can answer questions. Google can provide information. 

We can easily hop onto an online meeting at the comfort of our homes. Some say online meetings are here to replace in-person meetings!? (eeks)

Yet – we continue to see educators travelling across countries to attend conferences.

How odd?!

Why are people still choosing to gather in a large auditorium, watching and listening to the keynote speaker on stage – when they can easily do that via a screen online (there’s this thing called live-stream ya’ know).

Yes – information is no longer scarce with the help of today’s technology.

But in this age of AI – context is KING.

People attend conferences to:

• Learn from lived experiences
• Validate their thinking with another mind (that has a warm body)
• Understand implementation challenges
• Discover what actually works
• Build trusted relationships
• Transition into Partnerships

The most successful educational innovations rarely emerge from a single organization. It requires multiple touch-points, multiple conversations, multiple effective meetings, with multiple experts from different parts of the education ecosystem.

We are talking about collaboration between teachers, schools, researchers, edtech providers, universities, education networks and so many more.

The future of education will not be built by schools alone. Nor by technology companies alone. It will be built through gatherings, brainstorming, collaborating, and in partnerships.

Meet up this 31 October to 1 November, at AI & the Future of Education (AIFE) conference in Bangkok – and ignite your journey towards building a better education ecosystem for our learners.
