In-Person Event
Wednesday, June 03, 2026 | 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Something remarkable has been happening at Queen's. Faculty are reimagining how they teach, staff are transforming how they work, and quietly revolutionary breakthroughs are unfolding in classrooms and labs across campus. This June 3rd, you're invited to see it all in one place.
Join the Queen's AI Nexus for an energizing half-day symposium where curiosity meets innovation: hear a candid State of AI at Queen's from university leadership, roll up your sleeves in a collaborative Wicked Ideas workshop tackling real challenges alongside your colleagues, then wander an open Ideas Fair with light refreshments in hand, where faculty and staff share what they actually tried, what worked, what didn't, and what they wish they'd known sooner.
Whether you're a seasoned AI early adopter or someone who isn't sure where to start, this afternoon was built for you. No jargon, no prerequisites, just an honest and optimistic look at how Queen's is meeting this moment with balanced skepticism and enthusiasm. Space is limited, so register today!
