Leading AI in
Schools Conference
Build your school’s roadmap for safe and strategic AI integration
Monday, 2 February 2026 | 08:30 – 17:00
NIST International School, Bangkok
A leadership event organised in collaboration by the Embassy of Ireland, Eblana Learning and NIST International School
- Why this conference?
Artificial intelligence is transforming how schools operate, teach, and safeguard their communities. But most leaders are still asking the same question – how do we respond with clarity, ethics and purpose?
The Leading AI in Schools Conference brings together decision-makers from both national and international school systems to explore what responsible AI integration really looks like. You’ll gain the insights and confidence to lead your school’s AI journey with foresight and integrity.
- By the end of the day, you’ll:
Understand the most pressing risks and opportunities AI poses to education.
Assess your organisation’s current AI-readiness.
Build an AI implementation roadmap grounded in safeguarding, cultural context and educational excellence.
