Join the Al Rashid Education Foundation for an evening of inspiration and reflection as we explore what it means to grow, learn, and lead together.

This year’s gala, Together in the Hive Mind: Shaping the Future of Work and Education, celebrates the collective intelligence and shared purpose that emerge when people unite in pursuit of knowledge and progress. Like the harmony within a hive, our success as a community depends on connection, the educators who nurture, the students who strive, and the shared values that sustain us all.

The evening will feature keynote speaker Hosni (Hoss) Zaouali, an expert in the future of learning and work, whose insights bridge technology and education. His keynote will explore how collaboration, creativity, and care can shape the next generation of learning and employment.

Guests will also witness the recognition of this year’s scholarship recipients and memorial award honorees. It will be a celebration of dedication, generosity, and the transformative power of education.

Join us as we honor the spirit of shared learning and the vital role each of us plays in shaping a more thoughtful, connected future.
