The ASU+GSV Summit is the ultimate fusion of entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, educators, workforce leaders, and policymakers driving revolutionary innovation across the $8 trillion global education and skills sector.

Launched by GSV Summit in 2010 and started in partnership with Arizona State University, the ASU+GSV Summit has been called “the Davos of Education” by Forbes and “the must-attend event for education technology” by The New York Times—it is the premier platform for connecting ideas, communities, and capital to unlock opportunity at scale.

Author of Good to Great and Built to Last, Jim Collins has sold more than 10 million books worldwide and shaped the modern leadership lexicon with ideas like Level 5 Leadership, BHAGs, and the Flywheel. In this special ReaddIT! conversation, Collins joins GSV’s Michael Moe and Deborah Quazzo to reflect on What to Make of a Life—his first book since 2020 and the result of a ten-year research project exploring how individuals construct meaningful lives through pivotal moments.

Named one of Forbes’ “100 Greatest Living Business Minds,” Jim brings a deep passion for learning and teaching across the social sectors, with research that uncovers timeless principles people can reliably depend on. This is a can’t-miss conversation—and the first 100 ASU+GSV Summit registrants to RSVP and attend the book talk will receive a complimentary copy of What to Make of a Life from the ReaddIT! Bookstore at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego.

Join the Higher Education Summit team and special guests for a “Know Before You Go” briefing designed for higher education leaders attending the 2026 ASU+GSV Summit. At a true inflection point for the sector, this year’s theme—the Power of Fusion—reflects the powerful convergence of forces shaping higher education. This session will help you make the most of your time in San Diego, with a preview of the Higher Education program, key convenings, and the critical cross-sector conversations taking place throughout the week. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning as part of the community, you’ll leave prepared, connected, and ready to engage.

The city of Charlotte is a case study for impact on both the local and national levels. Even as one of the fastest-growing, most dynamic cities in the country, there are an estimated 45,000 young people disconnected from opportunity through college or meaningful work—not a reflection of talent, but a question of access, systems, and partnership. 

This special GSVtv conversation presented by Road to Hire will explore tangible ways that cross-sector collaboration can change the odds for young people and build real pathways to opportunity. Join ASU+GSV Summit President Tiffany Taylor for a discussion with leaders driving this change from different seats in the ecosystem—Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill; Ally’s Chief Information, Data, and Digital Officer Sathish Muthukrishnan; and Road to Hire’s CEO Dr. Monique Perry-Graves—as they explore how shared responsibility and intent can write a different story for young people nationwide.
