Brian Buffington recently spent the day at Habersham Central High School presenting information to teachers regarding Artificial Intelligence in the classroom. During these sessions, Brian shared AI resources, tools, and strategies that teachers may use to engage students, promote learning, and maximize efficiency. Our teachers thoroughly enjoyed these sessions and walked away with tangible ideas for how to implement the training to enhance student learning. I strongly recommend inviting Brian to your school or district. His engaging and informative sessions will benefit your teachers and students!

Brian Buffington was an outstanding keynote speaker for our AI Summit. From the very beginning, he was incredibly flexible and easy to work with, making the planning process seamless. His engaging presentation, deep knowledge of artificial intelligence, and ability to connect with our audience made him a highlight of the conference. Brian’s keynote set the tone for the entire event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in making our AI Summit a success.

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to bring Brian Buffington to WDMESC for two professional development sessions, and he did a fantastic job. Brian has a way of connecting with educators that just feels natural. He’s engaging, funny, practical, and understands that teachers don’t need to sit through another session full of theory. They want ideas and tools they can actually take back and use.

What stood out to me was how well he connected with the people in the room. He kept them engaged, had them laughing, and at the same time gave them plenty of useful things to walk away with. Brian was also just great to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who can bring some energy to the room, relate to educators, and give them something they can actually use, I’d definitely recommend Brian.

Stafford Schools had Buff present to our Career and Tech Ed teachers for our all staff Welcome Week. Entertaining and educating over 150 CTE teachers is not for the faint of heart, but Buff pulled it off. We learned and laughed throughout the morning. Teachers who are normally very quiet even volunteered to join him on stage! We truly appreciated the hands-on examples tailored to CTE and strategies that can be applied on day 1 in our classrooms. Buff is a true professional every step of the way and we cannot recommend him enough to breathe some life into your teacher professional development.

Brian Buffington brought incredible energy, humor, and enthusiasm to our Teacher Academy! He made AI and technology feel exciting, approachable, and most importantly, useful for real teachers in real classrooms. Our teachers loved his session, and the survey data backed that up: 37% of respondents specifically named Brian’s session as the most valuable session they attended. When teachers have a full lineup of professional learning to choose from, and more than one-third voluntarily name the same presenter, that says a lot!

Even better, teachers left ready to actually use what they learned. 57% of survey respondents said AI or an AI-related tool or strategy was something they were most excited to try during the 2026–2027 school year. They shared ideas for saving time, planning lessons, creating engaging activities, and bringing new energy into instruction. Brian didn’t just teach our staff about AI—he got them excited about the possibilities and gave them practical ideas they could take straight back to their classrooms!!
