I am writing to share an announcement of a virtual Professional Development Conference focused on Generative AI: The AI-Enabled Educator. The event is on October 16, 2024, and a discounted registration rate of $180 CAD is available for the first 50 registrants, until the end of August.
This event is being coordinated by a current Simon Fraser University graduate student, who also presented at the CWCA/ACCR conference this year. 🙂
Please share widely with your networks and at your institutions as this learning event promises to be insightful and rewarding.
Full announcement and registration link follow:
On October 16th 2024 we are launching the inaugural, Canada-wide virtual Generative AI professional development conference for educators in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. This event is made possible through collaboration with educators and experts from across Canadian institutions and sponsorship from the Simon Fraser University Library.
We’ve put a lot of thought into making this event truly valuable for educators in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences because they’re often the least served when it comes to AI literacy. This conference is all about empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the increasingly AI-engaged academic environment.
The goal of this event are to:
- Help post-secondary educators get over their fears and apprehensions regarding engaging with AI.
- Provide the space for cross-institutional learning and strategy sharing.
- Empower instructors to have knowledgeable conversations about AI with their students.
- Encourage educators to engage with the AI EdTech leaders who are developing the tools their students are using.
I would appreciate it if you could share this event with your network. I think your audience would benefit from what we’ve planned, as they’re exactly who we had in mind when designing this event.
If you’d like to learn more or discuss how this event aligns with your goals, feel free to schedule a 15-minute call with me. We’re also open to suggestions for specific topics you’d like to see covered during the conference.
To encourage early registration, we are offering our first 50 registrants a discounted rate of $180 until the end of August 2024.
If you are interested in being a sponsor and enjoying group discount rates, let me know and I will share more information.
AI literacy is becoming more important than ever for educators, and I hope you’ll join me in spreading the word about this much-needed event.
Thank you so much for your support!
Laila
