You’ll leave with a clear vision\, and a head start on creating a prioritized 6–12-month action plan that aligns generative AI with your district’s mission\, values\, and long-term goals. \nWhy Attend \n“AI is revolutionizing how we conduct business in education and will greatly impact teaching\, learning and assessments. It carries possibilities and risks\, and we must plan for it accordingly.” \n– May 2025 Summit participant \nWhat You’ll Experience \n\nLearn how AI can streamline and simplify everyday tasks and workflows.\nGain experience using the CoSN/CGCS K-12 Gen AI Maturity Tool to gauge their current readiness across seven domains.\nWork as a district team to build a mission-aligned implementation roadmap rooted in insights from the maturity assessment.\nBring together key decision-makers and stakeholders for shared planning and alignment.\n\nHow does this training relate to Colorado’s statewide AI initiatives? \nCoSN’s AI District Leaders Action Summit is designed to build on and complement Colorado’s statewide efforts to integrate AI into teaching and learning. While the state initiatives focus on classroom practice\, educator preparation\, and equitable student access\, this event equips district leaders to strengthen the operational and strategic backbone needed for successful AI adoption. \nUsing the CoSN/CGCS K-12 Gen AI Maturity Tool\, participants gain the knowledge and tools to assess readiness and develop strategic roadmaps across functional domains essential to district-wide AI success and long-term sustainability\, including: \n\nExecutive Leadership\nOperations\nData\nTechnology\nSecurity\nLegal / Risk\nAcademic AI Literacy\n\nAttending this summit alongside state initiatives ensures school district leaders are not only aligned with Colorado’s vision for AI in education but also prepared with the organizational capacity to turn that vision into reality. \nWhether your district is just beginning its AI journey or already well on its way\, this event will equip your team with the tools and guidance to make meaningful progress towards sustainable and responsible AI adoption aligned with instructional and operational goals. \nWho Should Participate \nThis summit is ideal for district teams poised to lead strategic AI implementation—especially those seeking to build internal alignment and long-term capacity. If you’re leading planning\, technology\, operations\, finance\, Human Resources\, and/or curriculum planning and development\, your participation will multiply impact. \nKey Outcomes \nYour team will leave the summit with: \n\nInitial progress on an AI maturity assessment tailored to your district’s context\, with guidance on how your team can complete the assessment for all seven domains.\nA comprehensive framework for developing a 6–12-month AI integration roadmap.\nClear\, practical next steps to advance AI integration within your district.\nA framework for stakeholder engagement and leadership accountability to ensure sustainable progress.\n\nWhat Past Summit Participants Are Saying \n\n“I learned so much! The top takeaway for me is that AI is a powerful tool to enhance efficiency.”\n“[Our top takeaway was the] importance of having a group to collaborate from our district — the collaboration was something we would not have otherwise been able to prioritize.”\n“The AI tool created to help us plan our roadmap was extremely helpful and will continue to be helpful when working with our larger team.”\n“[Our top takeaway was having] next steps to take back to the district. We have a solid start to a roadmap and how we will successfully incorporate AI for staff and students.”\n\nPresenters \n\nPete Just\nTom Ryan\nScott Elder\n\nEvent Details\nDates: November 12-14\, 2025 \nVenue\nDrury Plaza Hotel Denver Central Park\n4550 North Central Park Blvd\nStapleton\, CO 80238\nPlease use this link to reserve your hotel stay \nAgenda \n\nCoSN Denver AI Summit Agenda\n\nSchedule \n\nNovember 12: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Welcome Reception\nNovember 13: 8:00 – 4:00 p.m. (Breakfast available at 7:30)\nNovember 14: 8:00 – 12:00 p.m. (Breakfast available at 7:30)\n\nMeals \n\nLight refreshments served at reception on November 12\nBreakfast\, lunch\, and dinner provided on November 13\nBreakfast and box lunch provided on November 14\n\nBring Your Team \nThis event is designed for cross-functional district leadership teams.
