Registration Now Open for Tech Tactics in Education: Thriving in the Age of AI

Tech Tactics in Education has officially opened registration for its May 7 virtual conference on "Thriving in the Age of AI." The annual event, brought to you by the producers of Campus Technology and THE Journal, offers hands-on learning and interactive discussions on the most critical technology issues and practices across K–12 and higher education.

The conference will feature concurrent sessions in three tracks:

AI Across the Institution
From the classroom to the Administration building and everywhere in between, there's not one aspect of education that is untouched by advances in artificial intelligence. How can schools make the most of AI across teaching and learning, IT, operations, and other key areas? This track will offer practical applications of AI to advance the institutional mission, expert advice on AI risks, trends to watch, and guidelines for formulating an institutional AI policy that establishes guardrails without stifling innovation.

Cybersecurity and Privacy in an AI-Powered World
Education institutions of all levels are attractive targets for ransomware, malware, phishing, and other types of security breaches, and emerging technologies such as AI are bringing new capabilities to both attacks and defenses. This track will present information that IT leaders can use to help defend their institutions or help them recover after the worst comes to pass — with a particular focus on how AI is impacting cybersecurity strategy.

Developing Data-Informed Strategies to Enhance Student Success
Education institutions collect a wealth of data on students, but many still struggle to translate that into a quantitative impact on student achievement and other outcomes. In this track, practitioners will share how they are revamping their approach to data across campus to enable data-informed decision-making and support the institutional mission — all while avoiding pitfalls and ensuring that data is secure.

A full agenda will be announced in the coming weeks.

Save the Date

This year, Tech Tactics in Education will return for a second event on Sept. 25 on "Overcoming Roadblocks to Innovation." A call for speakers will open this April.
