ACES Center for Artificial Intelligence is hosting the ACES AI Conference 2026 on September 25 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Bristol, Connecticut.

The ACES Center for AI helps educators, students, and communities discover what’s possible when learning meets artificial intelligence. Our mission is to make AI approachable, ethical, and empowering for everyone in education. We believe that understanding and using AI isn’t just for tech experts — it’s for teachers, leaders, families, and students who want to create, problem-solve, and imagine new possibilities for learning. Through our educator workshops and family learning events, we help schools build the knowledge and confidence to use AI safely and creatively. Our resources and professional learning experiences support educators at every level — from exploring AI basics to applying tools that enhance teaching, collaboration, and student engagement. The Center also leads efforts in AI ethics, research, and standards, helping schools and partners use AI responsibly and with purpose. We’re developing frameworks and certifications that ensure AI tools support equity, accessibility, and authentic human learning. Whether you’re new to AI or ready to explore its full potential, the ACES Center for AI is here to guide, connect, and inspire. Together, we’re building AI-ready classrooms, empowered educators, and future-ready communities.
