As CEO of Language Coach AI, she combines decades of experience in education, digital learning, and technology to create solutions that help learners develop one of the most important language skills: speaking with confidence.

The summit also welcomes two distinguished guest speakers:

Nik Peachey is an accomplished educator, author, and learning technology consultant renowned for his expertise in integrating technology into education. With over 30 years of experience in the field, Nik has become a prominent figure in digital learning and teacher professional development, sharing his knowledge through numerous publications, workshops, and presentations worldwide.

Jérémie Séror, Full Professor at the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute at the University of Ottawa and Research Chair in Technology-Mediated Language Learning and Artificial Intelligence, will present "AI in Teams: Better Text Analysis for Better Language Teaching," exploring how to unlock the hidden teaching opportunities in a text using a team of AI agents.

Earn Your AI Certified Trainer (ELAM) Badge

Attendees who complete the full summit will earn or renew the AI Certified Trainer (ELAM) badge, a digital credential that can be displayed on an email signature, CV, LinkedIn profile, and ELAM trainer card. The badge signals to colleagues, employers, and learners that a teacher has completed structured, hands-on training in AI for language teaching, including lesson planning, materials development, content generation, and multi-level differentiation. It is proof that a teacher doesn't just talk about AI in the classroom; they teach with it.

The workshop is free for active ELAM trainers and available to other participants for a fee of $150 CDN. Whether attending live or viewing the session recordings, participants will receive the official badge of participation, usable in professional records or as a training credential.
