Due to the current regional conflict and out of an abundance of caution for the safety and travel security of our global participants, we have decided to postpone our April gathering.
Looking Toward November
While we are deeply saddened that we cannot connect as planned this spring, we remain committed to ensuring this opportunity to connect continues. We have tentatively rescheduled the conference for November 19–21, 2026, at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi.
We believe this new window will allow our community to gather with the focus and peace of mind necessary to truly explore the future of learning together.
If you have already registered for FOEN26, please check your inbox for an email from the FOEN26 team. That communication contains specific information regarding registration refunds, travel arrangements, and next steps for the November dates.
The FOEN Conference is a vibrant and dynamic global gathering dedicated to harnessing technology, vision, and responsibility to create real solutions for real challenges. Join educators, students, innovators, and thought leaders from around the world for three days of bold ideas and hands-on innovation that ignites learning and creates meaningful connections.
Redefine Learning. Drive Purposeful Impact. Mark Your Calendars for FOEN26!
Theme: Innovation for Purposeful Impact
Where: American Community School of Abu Dhabi
We are planning an impactful experience, building on the success of past FOEN events hosted by the Western Academy of Beijing (WAB). FOEN26 isn't a typical conference; it's a global summit for educators who are serious about challenging norms and building the future of learning.
We believe technology, when guided by purpose, can be one of humanity's greatest forces for good. FOEN26 is where ideas transform into impact.
Your experience includes a diverse program featuring global voices and hands-on workshops in four unique strands: Constraint Encourages Creativity, Innovation Expands Opportunities, Empathy Creates Solutions, and Wellness Unlocks Potential.
We champion empowering students with voice, choice, and real-world connection to unlock their natural desire to improve the world around them.
It's time to put FOEN26 on your professional development calendar and budget!
