This year's summit promises to be the most connected and collaborative event yet!
Join us on October 29-30, 2025 at the University of Toronto Mississauga's Innovation Complex in partnership with the Peel District School Board.
🤝 MindShare-CoLab Partnership & Why it Matters to You!
We're thrilled to announce that MindShare Learning is now an official partner with CoLab Education, launching the MindShare Canadian EdTech AI Summit Community—a permanent home for Canadian EdTech leaders and innovators to connect, collaborate, and grow together.
MindShare Learning is one of Canada's largest and most influential connectors in the EdTech space, with international reach spanning 16 years of bringing together educators, administrators, and innovators. They don't just host conferences—they build ecosystems where ideas become action.
CoLab Education is the #1 professional networking and collaboration platform for the K12 education ecosystem. We are made in Canada and support schools, districts, teaching associations and education communities of all kinds to stay connected and thrive!
Together, we're solving a critical problem: how do we sustain the energy, connections, and innovations that happen at conferences throughout the entire year?

A Personal Note of Gratitude
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Robert, Hanan, Ammar, and the entire MindShare Learning Team for organizing this incredible event. Their dedication to fostering a collaborative education network is truly commendable!
This is my third year attending the Canadian EdTech Leadership Summit. The first year I pitched CoLab in the Dragon’s Den Startup Challenge, last year I was an official partner and supported with media production, and this year we are partning to bring you the MindShare Canadian EdTech AI Summit Community to ensure the connections you make don’t fade away.
I hope to see you all there!
