List of 6 items.

• What is the daily schedule?

  The institute runs from Tuesday evening (6:00 pm arrival and welcome reception) through Friday at noon. Full days begin with breakfast at 8:00 am and include a mix of keynotes, role-specific sessions, micro-talks, hands-on workshops, and dedicated team time. Sessions typically run until 4:30-5:30 pm, with breaks throughout the day and optional evening receptions by the waterfront. You'll find a balance of structured learning, collaborative work time, and opportunities for informal connection with peers.

• Can I attend without staying on campus?

  Yes, you're welcome to commute if you prefer. However, the registration fee remains the same whether you stay on campus or not. We've designed an all-inclusive pricing model to keep costs accessible for everyone, covering facilitation, meals, and accommodations as a package. Many participants find value in staying on campus for the full immersive experience and spontaneous conversations that happen between sessions.

• What if I’m attending solo?

  Solo attendees are absolutely welcome! Last year, we had four individual participants who had a great experience. During designated team time, solo attendees can connect with other individuals, work on personal projects, or engage in one-on-one conversations with our facilitation team. All other sessions, keynotes, role-specific discussions, micro-talks, and workshops are designed for full participation regardless of whether you attend with a team. That said, we encourage bringing a team so multiple voices can carry your learnings back to your school community.

• Is there a limit on team size?

  There is no maximum team size. What matters most is bringing diverse perspectives from your school. For teams larger than five people, we recommend including representatives from different roles—such as classroom teachers, program leaders, and operations staff—to ensure a range of voices and expertise that can support comprehensive AI integration across your institution.

• I would like to register a team, but I have not yet identified each individual. What should I do?

  Our registration system has been designed with this in mind. You can register a team without providing specific names at the time of registration. It would be helpful for our planning if you indicate the intended roles of attendees from your school (e.g., two classroom teachers, one IT director, one division head) and provide a date when we should follow up for specific participant information. 

• What is your cancellation policy?

  We understand that circumstances may change, and we want to make this process as straightforward as possible. 
  

  • Cancel up to 30 days before the event for a full refund minus a small processing fee.
  • Need to change who attends? Substitutions from your school are always welcome at no additional cost. 
  • Cancellations made within 30 days of the start date will incur a 50% fee. We will waive this fee if we successfully fill your space with a registrant from another school.
  • Please contact Joe McRae at jmcrae@lcs.on.ca with any cancellation requests or questions.
