2026 Agenda At-a-glance

The ASU+GSV Summit is the premier global convening for the entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, educators, workforce leaders, and policymakers transforming the $8 trillion education and skills sector and convening 7,000 annually. Launched by GSV Summit in 2010 and started in partnership with Arizona State University, the ASU+GSV Summit is the preeminent platform for connecting ideas, communities, and capital to unlock opportunity at scale. GSV Summit's mission—that ALL people deserve equal access to the future—is grounded in the belief that scaled innovations across PreK to Gray learning are critical to achieving this goal.

To maximize your Summit experience, arrive on Sunday to pick up your badge, check into your hotel, and join the Opening Reception. Programming begins first thing Monday and runs through Wednesday evening, culminating in our can’t-miss closing celebration at the iconic San Diego Shell.
