2021 Event Summary

The Future of EdTech 2021 summit was a great success with a large international audience in excess of 700 attendees.  Professor Rose Luckin opened the event discussing how AI would have been the dominant talking point had it not been for the impact of COVID-19.  She explained how the conversation has now evolved to include the importance of paying more attention to the entire educational ecosystem as during the pandemic there was often ineffective connections and communications between key groups, such as between government and school leaders. Caroline Wright, Director General of BESA provided a keynote outlining how COVID-19 has had an impact on education both locally and globally and identified the need for improved telecommunication services, the need for more readily available and affordable devices and the need to continue supporting teachers post COVID.  Global EdTech perspectives were provided by a range of thought leaders including Al Kingsley, Jaime Donally and Brett Salakas.  You can view the event recording using the button above.
