AI is already in our classrooms. The question is: Are we navigating it well?

Join us this June for The Common Ground: Emerging Technology in Education a free, community-driven evening where educators, government, industry, and community members come together to have the conversation Queensland education needs right now.

This is a genuine, collective discussion about how we balance innovation, safety, and student wellbeing as emerging technologies reshape policy, practice, and what it means to be future-ready.

What we'll explore:

🔹 What has changed, why it feels urgent, and how we got here

🔹 How Queensland policy is shaping and, in some cases, struggling to keep pace with what's possible in classrooms

🔹 What responsible AI use looks like across education, industry and community, and where accountability sits when things go wrong

🔹 What future-ready genuinely means for Queensland students, and what productive collaboration between education and industry looks like in practice

You'll hear from:

🎙️ Heather Williamson — Director, Digital and Virtual Learning, School Improvement Branch, Department of Education

🎙️ Associate Professor Marcus Gallagher — School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Queensland

🎙️ Paul Stronach — Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority

Whether you're a teacher navigating AI tools daily, a school leader managing policy changes, a researcher developing these technologies, a parent thinking about your child's future, or simply curious about where all of this is heading, your voice belongs in this room.

There will be dedicated time for Q&A and networking throughout the evening, plus food and drinks provided.

This is your chance to help shape how Queensland moves forward on one of education's most important questions.
