SUMMARY:Agent Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI
DESCRIPTION:AI can trigger two very real fears: losing control if we adopt it\, or losing relevance if we do not. As AI shifts from a passive assistant to an active agent\, leaders and professionals are asking: Will this replace me? Is my organization falling behind? How do we embrace AI without creating security risks? In this keynote\, attendees will gain a practical understanding of how agentic systems work and the role humans will play in this new world. Instead of viewing AI as something to outrun or resist\, they will learn how to work with it strategically so they can stay relevant\, increase their impact\, and lead the transformation in their organizations.

SUMMARY:Beginning Bash Scripting
DESCRIPTION:Bash scripting leverages the power of the command line and tight integration with Linux and Unix operating systems\, so it's the easiest and best way to automate repetitive administration tasks (giving you the time to focus on more important issues)."Magic" is when all you have to do is say a few words and amazing things happen! Bash scripting lets you give Linux and Unix operating systems the ability to take care of themselves (by automating frequent tasks and responding to situations). The key to this is being able to have your scripts make decisions (logic programming). In this presentation\, you will begin to learn how to write and run Bash scripts (programs that are interpreted rather than compiled) including loops and logic statements\, file redirection\, command line arguments\, and much more. It's important that you be able to continue doing these things on your own (after the conference)\, so comprehensive instructions and reference materials will be provided.

SUMMARY:Building Self-Healing Networks: A Collaboration Between Network Engineers and Software Engineers
DESCRIPTION:This session explores how network engineers and software engineers collaborate to build self-healing networks. It highlights how operational knowledge\, automation frameworks\, and AI-driven monitoring systems combine to create resilient infrastructures that can detect\, diagnose\, and resolve faults with minimal human intervention.\nModern digital infrastructure is evolving at a pace that demands new approaches to reliability and resilience. One of the most significant developments is the rise of self-healing networks. These systems are designed to automatically detect faults\, diagnose failures\, and initiate corrective actions with minimal human intervention. Although automation frameworks and artificial intelligence play important roles\, their success depends on the operational expertise of network engineers. This session examines how collaboration between network engineers and software engineers drives the development of intelligent and resilient network systems. Software engineers build the automation frameworks\, telemetry pipelines\, and machine learning models that support large-scale observability and automated decision making. Network engineers contribute the domain knowledge that defines failure signatures\, operational thresholds\, and effective remediation strategies. Together\, these disciplines create the foundation for self-healing infrastructure. The presentation begins by exploring the operational roots of network reliability. For decades\, network engineers have produced root cause analyses\, troubleshooting guides\, and operational playbooks that document how networks behave during faults\, congestion events\, and configuration errors. These records contain the practical knowledge that has long guided incident recovery. When this expertise is translated into machine-readable logic\, it becomes the basis for automated detection and remediation. Participants will examine real scenarios where operational insight enhances automated responses. A monitoring system may detect abnormal CPU utilization or routing instability\, but it is the contextual understanding of experienced engineers that determines the appropriate corrective action. By embedding this knowledge into automation systems\, organizations can shift from reactive monitoring to intelligent and adaptive recovery processes. The session also considers how the role of the network engineer is changing in an era shaped by automation and artificial intelligence. Automation does not replace engineers. Instead\, it amplifies their influence. Engineers who understand telemetry systems\, automation tools\, and infrastructure programmability can directly shape the design of self-optimizing networks. Their operational judgment becomes encoded into systems that scale far beyond what manual processes can achieve. By the end of the session\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how human expertise and automation work together to strengthen digital infrastructure. The central message is clear. Self-healing networks are not created by software alone. They emerge through collaboration\, operational insight\, and the shared knowledge of the engineers who design and operate the networks that power modern society.

SUMMARY:Wi-Fi and Network Metrics on a School Budget
DESCRIPTION:How do you quickly prove it's not the Wi-Fi when the immediate response is to blame the Wi-Fi? I'm going to share some practical\, cheap\, or free tools to help you dial into the actual problem quickly\, and why Speedtest may not be the best metric for testing your network.Tools like Speedtest.net have become the de facto standard that our end users know to use to test when the network is working. This actually can be detrimental and unhelpful as a metric. New tools like the WLANPI and Orb.net are providing very cost-effective tools for determining how a network is performing without having to purchase expensive overlay networks. Tools that can be installed directly on an end-user device to get real-time performance metrics.

SUMMARY:From Handwriting to Insight: How a K-12 School Built Its Own AI Analytics Platform
DESCRIPTION:Monticello Academy built a custom AI platform that scans handwritten student work\, runs it through an OCR/LLM pipeline\, and surfaces instructional insights for teachers — on a school budget. This is the real story: architecture decisions\, FERPA compliance\, what worked\, and what we'd do differently.\n\nWhat happens when a small K-12 school decides to build its own AI-powered student work analytics platform rather than wait for a vendor to solve the problem? This session tells that story from the ground up. Attendees will walk through how Monticello Academy architected StudentQuill — a cloud-native platform that captures handwritten student assignments via scanning\, processes them through an OCR and multimodal AI pipeline\, and delivers structured insights directly to teachers. We'll cover the full decision stack: why we chose Google Cloud Platform\, how we evaluated OCR technologies for handwritten work\, how we engineered prompts for rubric-aligned AI analysis\, and how we designed the system to be fully FERPA-compliant from day one. Crucially\, this is not a vendor pitch — it's a practitioner case study. Presenters will share the real architecture\, real costs\, real trade-offs\, and real teacher feedback. We'll discuss what surprised us\, where we hit walls\, and the practical lessons any district or school can apply\, whether they're building\, buying\, or evaluating AI tools for instructional use. Attendees will leave with a replicable architectural framework\, a vendor evaluation rubric for OCR/AI tools\, and a clear picture of what it actually takes to put AI to work for teachers — not just in theory\, but in a live school environment.\n

SUMMARY:Click\, Agree\, Comply: Surviving EdTech Adoption in the Age of H.B. 55
DESCRIPTION:“Free” classroom apps and quick approvals now carry real legal and cybersecurity consequences. This session explains how Utah districts can move from “click and hope” to compliant\, termination-ready EdTech governance under H.B. 55\, Title 53E\, and federal privacy law.Most school districts have approved at least one digital tool that started with a well-meaning teacher saying\, “It’s free\, and everyone else uses it.” Too often\, that click-through approval becomes a permanent system handling student records\, behavioral data\, and sensitive communications—without meaningful oversight. At the same time\, Utah’s legal landscape has changed. With the passage of H.B. 55 (2026)\, districts are now required to maintain termination-ready contracts\, enforce strict data governance standards\, and demonstrate active vendor oversight. Informal adoption practices that once seemed harmless now create legal\, operational\, and cybersecurity risk. This session translates Utah’s statutory\, regulatory\, and federal privacy requirements into a practical\, repeatable approval system that districts can actually run. Through real-world scenarios\, breach case studies\, and contract examples\, participants will learn how to replace “click and hope” with “click\, verify\, and comply.” Attendees will leave with usable templates\, workflow models\, and governance tools that support instructional innovation while reducing legal exposure and reputational risk.

SUMMARY:How Installomator Tames Install-Update-Automate
DESCRIPTION:This presentation\, “The Software Lifecycle Whisperer\,” delves into the Marriott Library at the University of Utah’s innovative approach to transforming macOS software deployment and maintenance. The session begins with an overview of the library’s complex technology environment\, which supports thousands of Macs\, Windows devices\, and iPads. It addresses the operational challenges posed by COVID-19\, such as the rapid scaling of student-checkout devices\, increased software demands\, remote support needs\, and the limitations of traditional packaging workflows. Previously\, the library’s team relied on manual packaging\, repackaging of Mac App Store and commercial apps\, patch management\, API automation using python-jamf and jctl\, and custom scripts to ensure consistent software management across platforms. These methods\, although effective\, often created bottlenecks\, especially with non-standard installers\, licensing requirements\, and time-sensitive updates. A detailed “repackage decision flow” is presented to illustrate when custom packaging is necessary versus when automation can be used. The presentation’s core focus is on Installomator\, an open-source\, label-driven installer engine that streamlines the process of downloading\, verifying\, and installing macOS applications directly from vendors. The session highlights Installomator’s advantages\, including simplified infrastructure\, reduced technical debt\, rapid deployment\, self-service integration\, compatibility with multiple MDMs\, and support for distributed fleets. It also identifies scenarios where Installomator may not be suitable\, such as version-locked environments\, authenticated downloads\, licensing-restricted software\, or bandwidth-limited networks. Attendees will gain insights into Installomator’s flow logic\, configuration variables (debug modes\, notifications\, DND settings\, ownership rules)\, and real-world examples of Jamf Pro and Intune setup workflows. The talk concludes with practical advice on integrating tools like Installomator\, patch management\, AutoPKG\, Title Editor\, and manual workflows to develop a flexible software lifecycle strategy that accommodates diverse application requirements.

SUMMARY:Analysis of University WiFi and 6 GHz
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;Radio spectrum has typically been the bottleneck of dense WiFi networks\, but the opening of the 6 GHz band has enormous potential for performance increase. This performance is dependent on client adoption of the new spectrum\, not just infrastructure. We'll look at data indicating the need for additional spectrum and the roadblocks to adopting it.WiFi is the main way that endpoints connect to campus networks\, and dependence on these networks continues to increase for classroom and university operations. Latency-sensitive applications such as real-time voice and video are now integrated into classroom settings\, and large venues are increasingly dependent on WiFi for student and fan engagement. These settings can be challenging due to dense client counts and channel re-use\, and is compounded by the diversity of BYOD clients. Even with this understanding\, WiFi is disproportionately blamed for disruptions\, but it can be difficult to measure the state of current designs. We want to address these questions: How often do classrooms have high channel utilization? What is the impact of high channel utilization? Are current wireless designs adequate for modern use cases? How many WiFi devices does each person have? What is the impact of implementing 6 GHz infrastructure? What are the challenges of 6 GHz designs? What are the challenges of 6 GHz client adoption? How are visitor networks affected by this? We will review data from a project that attempted to answer some of these questions. (https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/10917/) Additionally\, we will share observations from large venues with WiFi\, such as LaVell Edwards Stadium\, Marriott Center\, and the BYU campus\, as we have deployed 6 GHz infrastructure.

SUMMARY:How Alyssa’s Law is Paving the Way for A Public Safety Revolution in Utah Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:This session examines how Alyssa’s Law is advancing school safety beyond its intended mandate of silent panic alarms to enable broader adoption of technologies. It highlights approaches to improving first responder communications and strengthening connected safety systems in K-12 environments.First responder communication technology in K–12 schools has gained significant momentum over the last decade\, driven by a growing number of tragedies and school safety concerns. One of the most impactful recent catalysts has been Alyssa’s Law\, which mandates the installation of silent panic alarms in schools to immediately alert law enforcement during an emergency. While the law’s core focus is on panic alarms\, its impact extends far beyond a single piece of hardware. In many states\, Alyssa’s Law has become a gateway to broader safety enhancements. In Utah\, the passage of School Safety Amendments (H.B. 84) expanded requirements beyond panic alarms to include comprehensive communication capabilities\, safety protocols\, and additional emergency preparedness resources. This includes Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES)\, which ensure that police\, fire\, and EMS personnel can maintain reliable communication inside school buildings\, even when radio signals are obstructed by walls or infrastructure. In this session\, Hunter Kampmoyer\, West Regional Manager at ADRF\, will discuss the importance of Alyssa’s Law to the growth of public safety in schools\, as well as present a Mountain West-based case study that walks attendees through different approaches to deploying ERCES in school\, and how the system can double as an important backup to other connected school safety measures currently running on WiFi\, including those required within H.B. 84.

SUMMARY:When the Problem Isn’t the Technology: Communication Skills for K-12 IT Teams
DESCRIPTION:Move beyond solving technical issues and start supporting the people using technology. This session introduces a customer-service approach tailored for K-12 IT teams that uses empathy\, active listening\, and clear communication to de-escalate difficult situations and turn frustrated users into collaborative partners.IT professionals in K-12 education spend much of their time troubleshooting devices\, networks\, and software—but many support challenges are not purely technical. Frustration\, miscommunication\, and time pressure can turn small technology issues into larger disruptions for teachers and classrooms. This session introduces T.E.A.C.H.\, a practical communication framework designed specifically for education technology support teams. The framework helps IT staff manage the human side of support interactions while still resolving technical problems efficiently. Participants will explore five core practices: • Take Time to Greet & Listen • Empathize and Disarm Conflict • Ask Effective Questions • Chart the Path Forward • Help Beyond the Moment. Through real-world K-12 support scenarios\, attendees will learn techniques for active listening\, empathetic communication\, structured troubleshooting conversations\, and translating technical concepts into language that educators can easily understand. The session includes a short interactive activity in which participants identify common support requests and discuss simple strategies—such as knowledge base articles or quick training resources—that can prevent repeat issues. Attendees will leave with a practical framework and communication strategies they can immediately apply to improve support interactions\, reduce frustration\, and strengthen collaboration between IT teams and educators.

SUMMARY:Safe\, Simple\, and Scalable Student Connectivity: Modernizing K–12 Wireless Access with Eduroam and Device-Based Trust
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a K–12 leader improved student connectivity and security while simplifying network management in one-device-per-student environments.K–12 districts across Utah need secure\, reliable\, and easy-to-manage wireless access to support one-device-per-student programs and uninterrupted digital learning. When connectivity is inconsistent or overly complex\, classroom instruction is disrupted. During this Fireside Chat\, Central Utah Educational Services will share how it consolidated multiple networks into a single SSID using Eduroam and Fortinet\, creating a simplified\, secure\, and scalable wireless model. By shifting from user-based authentication to device-based trust using certificates\, the district ensures that only managed\, filtered devices can connect—on campus and beyond. This approach helps maintain student safety while reducing friction for students and staff. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to simplify SSID design\, strengthen security\, and use automation to manage devices at scale—ultimately reducing IT workload while improving the student experience.

SUMMARY:The SOUL of AI: A Constitutional Framework for Human-AI Governance
DESCRIPTION:What if AI systems had a constitution — a living soul? The Sovereign Framework implements democratic AI governance with a five-member council of humans and AI models\, three branches of government\, ethical guardrails from philosophy and law\, and unamendable human sovereignty. This is AI governance made real.\n\nAs AI capabilities accelerate\, the question of governance becomes urgent: who decides what AI can do\, and how do we ensure it serves human flourishing? The Sovereign Framework answers this with a radical proposition — give AI systems a soul. Not consciousness\, but constitutional governance. SOUL.md is a living constitution that establishes a three-branch governance model (Executive\, Legislative\, Judicial) and a five-member council where one human and four AI models (Claude\, GPT\, Grok\, Llama) deliberate as equals on new capabilities. Drawing from the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers\, Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements\, and Gay Hendricks' Conscious Living principles\, the framework creates a system where: - No AI capability is deployed without democratic deliberation — a supermajority (4 of 5 votes) is required to ratify new skills - Human sovereignty is absolute and unamendable — the human can override\, halt\, or dissolve the system at any time - Ethics are structural\, not aspirational — a Judicial Branch independently reviews every action for constitutional alignment - Dissent is preserved as wisdom — today's minority opinion may become tomorrow's governing principle This isn't a whitepaper. The Sovereign Framework is implemented in production software spanning Java\, TypeScript\, Dart\, and Flutter — with a full deliberation engine\, voting system\, precedent library\, soul editor\, and MCP integration for AI assistants. The presentation demonstrates the complete governance lifecycle: from proposal through council deliberation\, judicial review\, skill ratification\, and after-action evaluation. We'll explore the philosophical foundations\, the technical architecture\, and the practical implications of treating AI governance as a constitutional democracy — where the machine doesn't just follow rules\, but participates in creating them.

SUMMARY:STOP WASTING TIME and Train Them the Right Way
DESCRIPTION:Training somebody the right way once is better than training them the wrong way five times. Sounds ridiculous\, but it happens more often than you think.Training somebody the right way once is better than training them the wrong way five times. It’s hard to believe\, but you may be surprised how often you are actually doing that. Through years of experience\, we found that it was the case for our summer IT intern program. We would train them for two days\, then deploy them to the field\, only to find they didn’t learn certain necessary skills or important workflows\, and we had to train them repeatedly. This cost time and energy throughout the summer\, which could have been spent in a productive manner. All of this led to standardizing workflows and summer processes across the Field Technicians group\, and to a better intern training program that makes training more successful and meaningful from day one. Join us as we tell you how we used entertaining AND educational videos and reference material to train our new fleet of interns.
