Reinventing the Educational Experience Through AI, VR, and Workforce Innovation

Education is entering a pivotal moment—one where artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and immersive technologies are no longer future concepts, but powerful tools reshaping how learning happens today. The Regional Summit on AI and Virtual Reality brings together leaders from across the Midwest and beyond to explore how innovation is transforming teaching, learning, and workforce preparation. Moving beyond discussion and into meaningful action, participants will engage with real-world examples and forward-thinking strategies that demonstrate how AI, VR, and immersive learning environments can deepen engagement, accelerate skill development, strengthen career pathways, and expand access and opportunity for learners of all ages.

Dr. Barbara Kavalier, President of St. Charles Community College, notes,

“The future of education belongs to institutions willing to reimagine learning through innovation. This summit is about turning bold ideas into practical solutions that prepare learners—and communities—for what’s next.”
