Founders & Builders Forum | The Future of Work, Education, and Learning
TOPIC: he Future of Education and Learning
The institutions and organizations pulling ahead aren’t just using AI. They’re rethinking how people learn, teach, and work with it. If your students, faculty, and teams aren’t ready for an AI-driven world, they’re already falling behind.
The question is how we prepare students, communities, and the workforce to thrive in what comes next.
Join an exclusive AI panel with university leaders, sustainability officers, workforce, and education innovators shaping how people learn and work with AI. We’ll explore what it takes to modernize curriculum, campus operations, and workforce readiness, from building AI literacy across disciplines to closing the gap between the classroom and the jobs employers are hiring for now. We’ll also cover responsible, sustainable AI adoption that serves learners and communities, and share real journeys, emerging tools, and actionable playbooks you can put to work immediately.

Appetizers, Drinks, Beer & Wine will be available.
