Kaleidoscope 2023 Open Doors AC: Open doors, open minds, open possibilities
October 24, 2023

Calling all Algonquin College employees! The eagerly awaited annual professional development conference, Kaleidoscope, is back this Fall. Prepare to embark on a journey of exploration and learning under the theme “Open Doors AC.” This unique concept will unlock a world of opportunities for all attendees, allowing them to witness the college’s labs and learning spaces come alive! New this year is the opportunity to visit our Perth and Pembroke campus or learn more about the Ottawa campus. Each campus will offer a full day of activities and networking opportunities.

Open Doors AC takes professional development to a new level by offering hands-on activities, live demonstrations and interactive Q&A sessions. Kaleidoscope encourages active participation and empowers attendees to open the doors to discover areas of interest.

In keeping with this year’s concept of Open Doors AC: Open doors, open minds, open possibilities we encourage all participants to venture beyond their familiar territories and discover new areas of the campus, or visit a new campus. Topics and areas of discovery may include:

• Innovation (AI, IT, etc.).
• Education & Skills (experiential learning, professional opportunities).
• Community (building connections, culture of caring).
• Wellness (networking, celebration of success).
• Learners (stories and experiences).

We are excited to introduce this year’s keynote, Tamey McIntosh, speaking on the topic of AI is Here to Stay (And that’s a good thing!). If you missed the keynote address or would like to watch it again, the recording is now available.
