We’d like to say a huge thank you to our incredible speakers, panellists, partners, and attendees for making the 2025 AI in Education Summit such an unforgettable event! The energy, insights, and passion for innovation were truly inspiring from start to finish.
With over 250 people joining us from across the country, the day was filled with fresh voices sparking discussion, collaboration, and forward-thinking ideas – all hosted last Friday at Slough & Langley College.
Across 17 incredible sessions in a jam-packed day, our guest speakers and panellists explored how artificial intelligence is transforming teaching, learning, and the future of work. From classroom innovation to the changing demands of the modern workplace, every conversation reinforced the power of AI to empower students and support teachers.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our valued partners:
Headline Sponsor: Salesforce
Premier Partners: Jisc and Brisk Teaching
Official Partners: FE Tech, ICS AI Ltd, and Everway
Presenting Partners: Pearson, Google for Education, and Microsoft
Together, we’re driving forward an AI-powered future for education – one that inspires curiosity, enhances teaching, and redefines what’s possible in learning. The future of education is here, and it’s powered by AI, collaboration, and limitless curiosity.
“The AI Summit showcased how technology can amplify – not replace – human potential. Our focus is on preparing our learners for the future by helping them use AI thoughtfully, creatively and responsibly. The most inspiring moments came from our students themselves, who reminded us what human-centred innovation truly looks like.” Dan Fairbairn, Group Executive Director Technology
