Exploring AI And EdTech At Education 2.0 Conference

Dubai|Las Vegas

What Is AI & EdTech?

AI & EdTech refers to the integration of artificial intelligence into education technology to enhance how students learn and how educators teach. It’s not just about putting tablets in classrooms or digitizing textbooks. AI-powered tools can adapt to student needs, automate administrative work, offer real-time insights, and support personalized learning at scale.

From intelligent tutoring systems to automated grading software and predictive analytics, artificial intelligence is shaping a new era of education—one that is data-driven, efficient, and student-centered. These technologies are not meant to replace educators but to support them, freeing up time for high-value interaction and enabling better learning outcomes.

Whether you're running a school, building an edtech product, working on policy, or attending a global education conference, understanding how technology in education is evolving is no longer optional. It’s essential.

Why This Theme Matters Now

The education sector is experiencing a major shift. The global adoption of AI-powered tools has moved from concept to classroom, and it’s happening fast. Schools and institutions are experimenting with adaptive learning systems, AI-driven assessment platforms, and even virtual teaching assistants.

There are three major reasons behind this shift, and each reveals why AI in education is more relevant than ever.

First, the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of learning. Schools needed scalable, tech-driven solutions. AI stepped in.
Second, advancements in artificial intelligence have made it easier to implement personalized learning strategies that work. We’re now able to analyze student performance in real time and adjust instruction dynamically.
Third, education is facing a resource crunch. Teachers are burned out, administrators are stretched thin, and student needs are increasingly complex. Technology in education offers scalable support, both in and out of the classroom.

This theme is about more than just innovation. It’s about relevance. How do we make learning more effective, accessible, and equitable with the help of artificial intelligence?

Key Topics We’ll Explore
