Thank you for your much-valued participation in helping make our 13th Canadian EdTech Leadership Summit–‘Driving Innovation Through Evidence-Based Research.’ an overall success!
As our first in-person event in three years, we couldn’t have chosen a better presenting partner in Dean Dilson Rassier and the McGill Faculty of Education team. Our next location will be tough to surpass! Perhaps a larger venue back at McGill next year?
As much as I love EdTech, this Summit was really about you and the diverse group of remarkable and passionate leaders, who presented and participated as delegates. As I subscribe to the notion that the ‘smartest person in the room, is the room!,” we want to continue the conversation and seek your further input and reflections in helping us crowdsource the Canadian EdTech Crisis Preparedness Playbook via the QR code image below in this special Summit report. We will be sharing the Summit Playbook with each of you which will include recordings of the keynotes and panel sessions and fabulous photo images that captured the highlights of the day. In the meantime, you can check out the Twitter hashtag #CDNEdTech22 which highlights thoughts and images from the Summit.
I can’t say enough about our valued platinum sponsor, AWS for their generosity in hosting the Wednesday reception and fabulous dinner at Bar George. Truly unparalleled.
I would remiss if we didn’t express our gratitude to our other generous sponsors and partners who helped make the Summit possible.
Congratulations to our Canadian EdTech Award Winners and Startup Challenge presenters and Winners Vireo!
