The ASU+GSV Summit — an annual convening of leading minds focused on transforming society and business through learning and work — will offer innovation and insight to both virtual and in-person audiences Aug. 9–11. The summit began in 2010 with a collaboration between Arizona State University and Global Silicon Valley, and has tackled topics such as K–12, higher ed, workforce, emerging technology, and equity, access and justice.
