Navigating the AI Frontier Series 2 is a six-session live webinar series from 9ine, designed for school leaders, IT leads, privacy professionals and teaching staff who want to govern and embed AI responsibly.
The series runs in two parts in partnership with AAIE and CIS. Sessions 1–3 explore AI governance: helping schools build the structures, policies and processes to manage AI adoption with confidence. Katie Snelling leads all three, joined by James Wigginton for Session 1 and Julia Pidduck for Sessions 2 and 3.
Sessions 4–6, led by Dan Fitzpatrick and Katie Snelling, shift to the classroom: exploring what responsible, effective AI use looks like in practice for teachers and students.
