Dallas AI Strategy Summit

An Intensive Strategic Workshop for School Leaders Who Are Ready to Get Serious About AI

This is an intensive working session where your leadership team and your school's AI champions will build your 12-month AI strategy, prototype real solutions, and leave with a clear plan you can execute starting Monday.

DATE

June 25, 2026

LOCATION

Trinity Christian Academy

Addison, Texas

CAPACITY

150 Leaders

Hosted at Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, Texas. Schools are encouraged to send teams.

01

Bring Your Whole Team. Build Your Whole Strategy.

Most professional development inspires great thinking. This workshop takes it a step further: your team does the work on-site, together, in one day. No waiting to debrief when you get back. No hoping the momentum carries over. You walk out with a strategy your entire leadership team built and owns.

Because Sean brings the workshop to your region, you can send your whole leadership team instead of just a couple of representatives. That means alignment from day one and a plan everyone helped create.

This AI Strategy Summit is for school leaders and internal AI champions who are serious about getting serious. If you're past the "should we do something about AI?" conversation and ready for the "here's exactly what we're going to do" conversation, this is your day.

02

This Summit Is For You If...

  • Your school needs an AI strategy and you're done waiting for one to appear
  • You want your leadership team aligned and working from the same playbook
  • You need policies, prototypes, or both, and you want to build them with expert guidance
  • You want to learn alongside peers from other area schools who share your mission and your challenges
03

What You Will Walk Away With

1

A 12-month AI implementation roadmap tailored to your school, built by your team during the afternoon strategy lab

2

Working prototypes your team builds during rapid prototyping sessions alongside peers from other area schools

3

AI policies ready for adoption: acceptable use, faculty guidelines, academic integrity frameworks

4

A clear understanding of the current AI landscape and what it means for your school specifically

5

Hands-on training in AI tools that school leaders can use immediately for decision-making, communication, and strategic planning

04

Who Should Be in the Room

Head of School
Assistant Heads
Academic Deans
Technology Directors
Department Chairs
Internal AI Champions

Send the people who will own and execute your AI strategy. When your whole team is in the room building the plan together, you skip months of internal persuasion and get straight to execution.
