Drew Conrad

Speaker & AI Educator

Applied AI for higher education and the workplace.

Twenty years building enterprise AI, a PhD studying it, and a way of explaining it that makes a room of non-experts feel capable instead of afraid.

What I speak about

Getting AI right in higher ed.

What AI does to assessment, integrity, and learning, and what institutions can actually do about it. Built on live adversarial research inside D2L Brightspace.

AI for the people who have to use it.

Why most workplace AI rollouts fail, and what real adoption looks like past "AI is the chat box." For leaders and the teams they are asking to change.

Twenty years of building AI, honestly.

What actually scaled, what did not, and what two decades inside enterprise AI teaches you about this moment. Part talk, part field report.

Signature talk

Presented at GeorgiaView 2026, USG eCampus, Georgia Southern University, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

Can Your LMS Assessments Resist AI?

A live look at what current AI does to online assessment, and what holds up under pressure.

Workshops & Training

Beyond the talk, I run hands-on training that builds the skill the 30-minute version skips, for higher-ed staff and faculty, and for workplace teams rolling AI out for real. Tell me what your people need and we will scope it.
