The two - day Conference

Shaping the future of education

The conference of the year about the future of education

The Two - day Conference

Top speakers, unique content

At the conference will be discussed the needs and challenges of technology adoption in educational institutions of all levels and types, as well as how government and private sector can design effective policies to support the industry.

The EduTech Summit & Expo will place special emphasis on the field of interactive education, presenting solutions that meet modern needs, new methods of approaching and applying modern educational processes, using appropriate equipment and software.

The artificial intelligence in education

Artificial Intelligence has also taken a seat at the 'desk' in the last year or two, and by all accounts, it will solidify its position in the immediate future.

The widespread availability of ChatGPT and many similar offerings with enormous capabilities, the presentation of the first LLMs in the Greek language, but also the coordinated training of the educators themselves with the appropriate expertise that they will have to pass on to their students, opens the way for the future.

Which future also includes the creation of a 'smart' digital assistant, which will be a daily companion in the study and work of the student.
