17th Canadian EdTech Leadership AI Summit - Presented by MindShare Learning

Welcome to the 17th Canadian EdTech AI Summit (2026)On behalf of the entire MindShare Learning community, I’m thrilled to welcome you to the next chapter of the Canadian EdTech AI Summit.

As we reflect on the incredible success of last year’s summit, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to every attendee, speaker, sponsor, and partner who helped make it our biggest and most impactful gathering to date. Your energy, insights, and commitment to advancing education in an AI-inspired world truly set a new benchmark for what this community can achieve together.

What We Learned Together (Top 5 Takeaways from 2025)
From the powerful conversations and shared reflections across social media and beyond, five themes stood out:

• Human-centred AI is non-negotiable: technology must amplify, not replace, the human experience in learning.
• Collaboration fuels innovation: cross-sector dialogue sparked the most meaningful insights.
• Practical application beats hype: real classroom use cases resonated most with educators.
• Equity and ethics must lead the way: inclusion is not optional in AI-driven education.
• Mindset matters more than tools: curiosity, adaptability, and courage define the future-ready educator.

Our 2026 Theme
Building on this momentum, our 2026 theme is:
“Human First. AI Forward. Learning Reimagined.”
This year, we will go deeper, exploring how we can responsibly scale AI in education while preserving what matters most: human connection, creativity, and purpose.

What Our Community Said

“This summit didn’t just introduce new tools, it transformed how I think about teaching, learning, and leadership in an AI world.”

This kind of feedback reminds us why this work matters, and why this community continues to grow stronger every year.
