This year promises to be an incredible event, with our future focused theme of ‘ Leading the IB for the AI Generation’.

Our event will explore the transformative intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education, with a  focus on the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes and discuss how AI can enhance teaching, learning, and administrative processes within the IB framework. Sessions will highlight the practical implementation of AI in schools—ranging from personalized learning experiences and data-driven insights to optimising curriculum delivery and supporting teacher development. Attendees will gain insights into how AI can be harnessed in the school context, to support the IB’s mission of fostering critical thinking, global awareness, and intercultural understanding, while also addressing the ethical considerations and challenges associated with these technologies in educational environments.

Designed for School Leaders (Principals, Heads of School, IB Coordinators and others) the aim of this event is to bring together the expertise of current thought leaders in education to assist IB schools inform and better their practice in the Australasian context.

Our 2025 event will  include notable experts in the education field to discuss the broad ranging and practical aspects of AI, as well as immersive workshops targeted at  IB Programme levels and practical skill development.

Our current line up includes:

  • Professor Danny Liu,  University of Sydney- Asking questions of ourselves and AI – Keynote
  • Kathryn Saville – Enquiry and Explicit Teaching Workshop
  • Alexandra Galland – Leading and Learning in the AI Era Workshop
  • More speakers & workshops to be announced!

IB leaders are responsible for designing and sustaining learning organisations where students and staff continually expand their skills, attitudes and dispositions. All symposium sessions have been designed to be interactive and provide participants  with valuable insights to take back to their schools.

Networking and forming connections between IB schools is a key part of
the day. The final session includes an opportunity for attendees to break into IB programme specific groups to discuss key themes from the day and share takeaways to strengthen practices in their own school context.

Discounted tickets are available for IB Schools Australasia member schools.
