Join us for RMIT’s Generative AI Lab for Education (GAILE’s) inaugural conference to be held on Monday 4 May 2026, a space where educators collectively generate a shared vision of AI’s role in human learning and connection and come together to prototype AI-enabled practices for immediate impact.
The conference is designed as an active, participatory experience where every session is centred on understanding, doing, creating, and engaging.
Every session invites participants to actively engage in a practical exploration of AI, grounded in the lived educational opportunities, experimenting with tools, and applying ideas directly to their educational contexts.
The core value proposition is simple but urgent: we are moving from talking about AI to working with AI in a way that provides the impact that educators desire.
For educators and partners, this means moving beyond the discussions about the need to rethink assessment design or teaching practice, instead, it means rolling up our sleeves and actually prototyping what that change could look like. This is a space for practical application, experimentation and co-creation.
Participants will leave the event not only with new perspectives, but also with tangible skills, resources, and strategies ready for immediate use. The conference is designed so that people walk away feeling empowered, challenged, connected, and skilled, equipped with a toolbox of actionable ideas they can put into practice the very next day. And importantly we create and share openly across the sector to benefit of all staff and learners.
To create spaces where educators prototype AI-enabled practices for immediate impact and collectively generate a shared vision of its role in human learning and connection.
A connected network of educators who move from possibility to practice; driving meaningful change and transforming ideas into classroom impact.
Expressions of interest (EOI) to present at GeneratED 2026 are open now until 30 January 2026.
We invite facilitators, coaches, provocateurs, and catalysts of change who can help educators move from possibility to practice. If you’ve redesigned an assessment, trialled an activity, or experimented with AI in your teaching, this is your chance to bring others into that process.
Don’t just tell us what you did, guide participants to do it for themselves. We are seeking sessions that invite participants to roll up their sleeves and engage in real-time learning, whether that’s prototyping new practices, debating provocative ideas, or testing AI-enabled approaches that can be applied immediately in educational contexts.
Sessions can be delivered in a number of possible formats:
At RMIT University, we are committed to providing rich and practical learning experiences. Therefore, we will prioritise proposals that are:
