AI is already creating new questions across K-12.

- How are schools approaching classroom use?
- What belongs in policy?
- How are districts thinking about security, governance, communication, student support, and operations?
- What are others learning as they try things in real settings?

The 2026 K-12 AI Innovation Summit brings people together to compare notes, learn from practical experience, and leave with ideas they can use in their own organizations.

You don’t have to arrive with the answers.

Come with a challenge you’re working through, a question you’re asking, or something you want to understand better.

📍 December 8: Lynnwood
