Welcome to the 2025 Teaching with AI Conference, hosted by the Office of Teaching and Learning at the University of Guelph. This cross-institutional event brings together educators, students, researchers, academic staff, and institutional leaders to explore how AI is reshaping teaching and learning in higher education.

This year’s program features 25 highly practical sessions, including hands-on workshops, interdisciplinary panels, practical presentations, and a thought-provoking keynote. With 60 speakers from 16 institutions and organizations, the conference is a collaborative space for sharing insights, building AI literacy, and engaging in critical conversations about pedagogy, principles, and practice. The future of AI in education isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. It’s about building strong, connected communities across institutions and disciplines, and ensuring inclusive, ethical, and future-ready classrooms.

This conference creates vital knowledge pipelines to support cross-sector collaboration, reduce duplication of effort, and empower educators with the tools and perspectives they need in a rapidly evolving educational landscape. Thank you for being part of this collective effort to think boldly, question deeply, and act purposefully.
