Keynote: Mission Critical: Navigating Education's Next Frontier

What can school leaders learn from a stranded spacecraft and a mission to return humans to the Moon?
Quite a lot.


In this engaging and interactive keynote, we will look into parallels between the ingenuity of Apollo 13, the ambition of the Artemis program, and the challenges facing schools today. As leaders grapple with AI, screen-time concerns, cybersecurity threats, and an uncertain future of work, they’ll explore how to make mission-critical decisions when the path forward isn’t always clear. Participants will leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and a renewed sense of purpose for leading through uncertainty and designing schools ready for the next frontier.
