Hands-on workshops covering the latest trends, tools, and strategies for integrating technology meaningfully into the classroom.

Opportunities to network and surround myself with like-minded educators from Asia Pacific and beyond, sharing best practices and generating new ideas. Last year’s conference (2024) brought together 350+ educators from 21 different countries.
