​

Shaping the Future Conference is an annual world established EdTech conference, recognized by its unique innovative and thought-provoking content led by deep thinkers leading significant breakthroughs. Launched 10 years ago, this event has constantly voiced unique technological opportunities to meet major educational challenges. It enables dialogue among educational leaders, bringing together cutting-edge research, practice, and decision-making as well as a diversity of sectors not commonly present at educational forums. Moreover, the conference is known by its inspirational and optimistic perspective, leaving participants motivated to lead enhancements at their daily practices.

This year, the conference theme is the future of humanistic text in the digital age. Humanistic text since it's dawn went hand by hand with technological culture – from oral, to manuscripts, print, audio, visual technologies, and internet. Each technology shaped not only the medium but also the message.  Generative AI is a new development that challenges the skills and values that humanistic text represents, by creating texts that mimic human expression and content. How will generative AI affect the future of humanistic text? How will it change the ways we express, organize, and interpret texts? How will it impact the power structure and discourse of humanistic text? These are some of the questions that this conference aims to explore.
