Dear [Approval’s Name],

 

I am writing to request your approval to attend the AI & the Future of Education (AIFE) conference, which will be held at Jakarta Intercultural School, Indonesia from 7-9 November 2025.

 

A little bit of background about AIFE conference, after its first successful appearance in Bangkok back in November 2024, this conference is now landing in Jakarta to bring together EdTech leaders, educators and fellow AI enthusiasts that are eager to make a difference in the future of education.

 

The details for the upcoming event are still coming together but information on the previous event in Bangkok gives you a good sense of what to expect:

  • A total of 120+ attendees from a 19 countries for the three days of pre-conference workshop and main conference days
