Keynote Speaker - Boy, That Escalated Quickly: Navigating Change in the Age of AI

Wednesday August 5, 2026 8:15am - 9:15am CDT

In this keynote, Mark Henderson puts today's AI moment in perspective, validates the real concerns educators are feeling, and offers a practical, human-centered way to move forward. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to start.
