WHO WE ARE

GSV is a global platform supporting and investing in education and workforce skills innovation. Our mission is that ALL people have equal access to the future, and we believe that innovations at scale in “preK to gray” learning and skills are critical to achieving that end. Today the GSV platform is comprised of GSV Ventures, its flagship convening the annual ASU+GSV Summit, as well as the ASU+GSV & Emeritus Summit launched in India in 2023.

The ASU+GSV Summit

Now in its 15th year, the ASU+GSV Summit is the world’s most important and impactful gathering of leaders across “preK to gray” education and workforce learning. The annual event is held in April in San Diego, where, in 2023, over 7,000 registrants (a record) gathered to address the transformation of learning and skills delivery leveraging key developments in technology including generative artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and many other solutions.

The AIR Show

This year, we are also launching an Immersive Exhibition - the inaugural ASU+GSV AIR Show, April 13-15, 2024, at the San Diego Convention Center. This event illuminates the transformative future of AI and learning. This immersive exposition brings educators, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and technologists together to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the education landscape. Hosted in conjunction with the 15th Annual ASU+GSV Summit, the AIR Show will showcase 100+ of the world's leading AI in EDU companies and feature live demos, insightful keynotes, and immersive experiences.

AI is transforming our world rapidly—supporting learning leaders across the education and skills sector, from the classroom to the dorm room to the board room. In this new frontier, the AIR Show offers a glimpse into the future where AI is as pervasive and essential as the AIR we breathe.
