The question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will change
education. The question is what we do next.


How do we prepare students for a future shaped by AI? What knowledge,
skills, and human capacities matter most? How do we ensure innovation
strengthens learning rather than distracting from it?


The 2026 ACES AI Conference brings together educators, school and district
leaders, researchers, innovators, technology professionals, and community
partners to explore how schools can thoughtfully prepare learners and
organizations for an AI-enabled future. Rather than focusing solely on AI
tools, the conference explores how schools can intentionally design
learning experiences, systems, and opportunities that keep people at the
center of innovation.


Grounded in a human-centered approach to innovation, this conference moves
beyond conversations about tools and technology to focus on the broader
questions shaping the future of education:

   - How do we prepare students for a world transformed by AI?
   - What knowledge, skills, and human capacities matter most?
   - How do we ensure AI supports learning rather than replacing it?
   - What does responsible, coherent implementation look like across
   schools and districts?
   - How can educational systems remain focused on people while embracing
   innovation?


Through keynote presentations, featured conversations, breakout sessions,
district showcases, and an interactive Innovation Lab, participants will
explore both the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial
intelligence while learning practical strategies for implementation across
educational settings.


Audience: The ACES AI Conference brings together educators, leaders, and
professionals at every stage of AI adoption to learn, connect, and
collaborate on shaping the future of learning.
