Where: American Community School of Abu Dhabi
Theme: Innovation for Purposeful Impact

The FOEN Conference is a vibrant and dynamic global gathering dedicated to harnessing technology, vision, and responsibility to create real solutions for real challenges. Join educators, students, innovators, and thought leaders from around the world for three days of bold ideas and hands-on innovation that ignites learning and creates meaningful connections.

Redefine Learning. Drive Purposeful Impact. Mark Your Calendars for FOEN26!

We are in the early stages of planning an impactful experience, building on the success of past FOEN events hosted by the Western Academy of Beijing (WAB). FOEN26 isn't a typical conference; it's a global summit for educators who are serious about challenging norms and building the future of learning.

We believe technology, when guided by purpose, can be one of humanity's greatest forces for good. FOEN26 is where ideas transform into impact.

Your experience includes a diverse program featuring global voices and hands-on workshops in four unique strands: 

  • Constraint Encourages Creativity: Working within real-world limits actually sparks the most inventive teaching and learning. Discover why constraints aren’t barriers but actually the catalysts that drive deeper creativity and innovation in the classroom. 
  • Innovation Expands Opportunities: Exploring AI, immersive technology, gaming, E-sports, and leveraging new tech to develop the essential skills required for the future of work and learning. 
  • Empathy Creates Solutions: Designing for ethical, sustainable change through service learning, sustainability, and using technology for purposeful, positive change.
  • Wellness Unlocks Potential: Cultivating social-emotional learning, intrinsic motivation, and empowerment into the culture of the school.

We champion empowering students with voice, choice, and real-world connection to unlock their natural desire to improve the world around them.

It's time to put FOEN26 on your professional development calendar and budget!
