• Increase awareness and understanding of AI in education by providing foundational knowledge to teachers, school leaders, and sector stakeholders.
• Highlight practical AI initiatives currently being implemented in WA schools, showcasing real-world applications and early successes.
• Deliver hands-on professional development that equips educators and leaders with the skills, tools, and confidence to integrate AI responsibly in classrooms and school operations.
• Foster a collaborative, cross-sector network of educators, industry experts, and policymakers to support ongoing learning and innovation.
• Assess the current landscape of AI literacy in WA schools through pre- and post-Forum surveys of teachers and school leaders, identifying strengths, gaps, and future needs.

The Forum is a two-day event bringing together educators, school leaders, government representatives, and industry partners to explore the ethical and practical integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in WA’s K–12 education system. It is led by the Fogarty Foundation and co-hosted with the Beyond Boundaries Institute.

This Forum is designed for K–12 teachers, school leaders, and education sector professionals across all WA education sectors (government, Catholic, independent, and specialist). It particularly supports early adopters of AI and those new to the space. A limited number of general public tickets are also available.

No. Sessions are designed for a range of experience levels. Whether you’re an AI novice or already experimenting in your school, there will be valuable insights and practical resources for you.

Yes! The event is committed to equitable access and strongly encourages participation from metropolitan, regional, and remote schools. Travel support options may be available—please contact us for more information.

• Day 1: Sector showcases, keynotes, and school-led breakout sessions sharing real-world AI examples
• Day 2: Streamed professional development workshops for teachers and leaders, with hands-on training and co-design sessions

Select sessions may be recorded or summarised for inclusion in the final report. If recordings are made available, registered attendees will be notified post-event.

Presenters include leaders from WA’s major education sectors, national leaders and experts in AI, Data Science and education. The full program will be announced in the coming weeks.

Yes! Schools using AI in interesting or emerging ways are encouraged to submit proposals for breakout sessions. Contact us before 1st October 2025 to be considered.

Yes. Morning tea and lunch will be provided on both days. 

We will not be recording the forum. However key quotes, takeaways and resources may be shared after.

We are very interested in gauging interest from regional schools and plan for the professional development to visit regional hubs in the future. We know that needs can differ significantly across regions, so one event can’t cover everything; regional engagements are a key way to ensure PD is tailored to each context.

We want to work closely with schools that are interested and ensure a range of voices informs our next steps in increasing AI literacy across WA, beyond the metro areas. If your school would like to get involved or stay updated on regional opportunities, please get in touch.

Due to the nature of this event, the Forum will be a no soliciting event.

We encourage industry and business owners to purchase a ticket to attend the Forum and contribute to the discussions if interested, however, selling or pitching AI products or solutions will not be allowed. The breakout sessions will primarily be a showcase and platform for schools to share what they are developing and delivering in their own communities, as such we will not be inviting expressions of interest from those selling AI products or solutions to present as part of the Forum.
