MEET THE SPEAKERS
Gregg Sotiropoulos
Teacher Trainer
MM Publications
Gregg’s journey in education began back in 1996 (yes, that long ago! 😊) as an elementary school teacher in New York and has since built an extensive career in teaching, training, and academic consultancy. With nearly three decades of experience, he continues to inspire and support both teachers and students worldwide. His educational philosophy is grounded in the principle of filotimo: a Greek word that captures the spirit of “doing good” with kindness, integrity, and heart. This philosophy drives his belief that education should not only build skills but also shape lives. Gregg is an energetic international speaker who loves connecting with audiences on themes such as Personal and Professional Development, Soft Skills, Student Motivation, and, most importantly, Having Fun while learning.
What: Jollification! Time to have fun with games and activities in your classroom
Jollification! Time to have fun with games and activities in your classroom. Truth be told, teaching can sometimes be a tedious task, especially when students are disengaged, and the flow of the lesson is broken. What can we do at that moment to re-engage our students? Let’s take a look at some ideas that will surely spark your students’ interest and increase participation making your lesson memorable!
What: Teachers, are we exhausted superheroes? It is time to work on “us”!
Our role as a teacher is multifaceted; seen as a counselor, a confidant, a facilitator, a motivator, a coach and even as a superhero in the eyes of our students! We may find ourselves with our batteries empty. So, my fellow superheroes, join me in this reflective talk as there is no better time than NOW to work on “US”!

Discover practical ideas for blending A.I. tools with engaging, learner-centred activities—ensuring that while technology supports learning, human connection remains at its heart.
