Lunch General Session: AI & the Future of Learning: Keeping People at the Heart of Innovation

Saturday August 29, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm PDT

Main Ballroom

Enjoy lunch, live student entertainment, and a thought-provoking conversation about one of the most important questions facing education today: How can we use AI to strengthen learning, empower families, and elevate our communities while keeping people at the center?
Hear from Dr. Andres Bustamante, an expert in early childhood education, learning, and artificial intelligence, as he explores the possibilities of using AI to enhance—not replace—the relationships, culture, creativity, and human connection that make education meaningful.
We’ll also hear from our students at Christopher Elementary School, Oak Grove School District, and invite you to share your voice through the Unity Conference Survey.
Come enjoy the performance. Stay for the conversation. Leave inspired by what AI can make possible.
