ATLE Emerge Symposium 2025

April 24-25, 2025 at the Doubletree by Hilton West Edmonton

The ATLE Team and the ProLearn Team are excited to launch registration for the ATLE Emerge Spring Symposium 2025, April 24 and 24 at the Doubletree by Hilton West Edmonton!

April 24 - 9:00 am Keynote Dr Patrick Pilarski

April 24 - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Concurrent Sessions

April 25 - 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Concurrent Sessions

Once again, this is your Spring opportunity to convene as leaders in technology in education in Alberta to share and learn about current hot topics - to gain updates yourself and even better, to gather key resources and processes that you can use back in your districts right away!

Join us for two fantastic days of professional learning, networking, sharing of best practices and exploring ways we can enhance implementation in a variety of areas!

As the final agenda is still shifting into place, we'd like to offer you the themes that are "emerging" to help guide your decision to attend! The full program will be posted once sessions have been confirmed. We have a few presentation spots left to fill - if you or someone you know (or both of you) would like to present a session, panel, or roundtable, consider completing this proposal form and we'll get back to you by mid-March.

This year's hot topics include:

  • PIAs and the impact of the incoming Protection of Privacy Act (Bill 33) and Access to Information Act (Bill 34), which will be replacing the FOIP Act here in Alberta this Spring.
  • Artificial Intelligence in the classroom and beyond - in lieu of an AI Summit, we will bring you a full and complete AI strand at Emerge. Expect sessions focusing on general AI literacy, how to write a fully customized GPT in ChatGPT (e.g. to support your PIA reviews), practical ways to teach students about AI, AI projects, AI in Central Office, an AI PLN roundtable conversation, and more
  • Cybersecurity in schools, real-time defense, cybersecurity in practice, and more
  • Cyberincident, disaster recovery and business continuity planning
  • Privacy Impact Assessments and the ATLE App Evaluator project - What's new? A look "under the hood" and more
  • IT sessions - e.g. The Great Bandwidth Bake-Off Panel
  • Unconference and PLN roundtable sessions - rich conversations for those looking to solve a problem or share a best practice with colleagues
  • The PL-AI-Ground!

This year, sessions, panels and roundtables will be capped at a length of 45-minutes, with opportunity for a couple of longer workshops, PL-AI-Ground time, and more informal networking built in as well. 

We look forward to reconnecting and us all learning together in April!
