In a world where online and hybrid learning abounds, there needs to be a good reason to bring people together in person. 2026's Education Technology Summit blended archaeology, philosophy and time travel to bring a unique learning experience for each participant.
We discussed the alignment between technical possibility and human intent exploring not only what is possible but also what works for learners and teachers. How can we use the technologies at our disposal to ensure that every learner has the best possible learning experience? How do we improve inclusivity and personalisation rather than exacerbating the digital divide?
We heard from those working with the very latest in learning technologies from AI to immersive learning and finding out how they are making better use of data. Using insights from three decades of edtech we ended with a fast and fun session where we collectively drew out the skills, mindset and tools needed to deliver equitable and sustainable, learner‑driven futures.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE SUMMIT
The Education Technology Summit helped delegates to understand how AV technology can be used effectively and equitably to enhance learning and student support. Expect lively debate and shared foresight.
Attendees went away, informed, inspired and equipped to take better decision about designing effective learning experiences and/or developing your product roadmap.
The Summit was chaired by Dr Gill Ferrell. Gill has been Content Chair for ISE's education-themed conferences since 2017. As Executive Director Europe for the 1EdTech Consortium, Gill supports European learning providers and suppliers developing open edtech standards. She also co-leads a learning technology special interest group for European universities. She has been a speaker at many international events and has authored a number of widely-used good practice guides on enhancing learning with technology. Her extensive network of contacts allows us to bring a wide range of perspectives to the summit.

Don’t Mention the VAR is a parable using football to show how technology often fails to solve human problems. We add more tools, but they favor rules over intention. In education, this warns against letting systems overshadow purpose, reminding us to focus on human goals, not just compliance.
