Launched in 2010, the ASU+GSV Summit is an annual gathering that brings together leaders from education, technology, business, philanthropy, and government to accelerate innovation across the "Pre-K to Gray" learning and workforce continuum. Co-hosted by Arizona State University and Global Silicon Valley (GSV), the Summit has become a global platform for advancing ideas and collaborations that impact economic mobility through education and work integration.
Held each spring, the Summit features keynotes, panels, and showcases focused on emerging technologies (especially AI), skills-based learning models, alternative credentials, workforce development, and education-to-employment pathways. Themes change annually, with recent years emphasizing the transformative role of artificial intelligence, digital records, and trust in human-centered learning systems.
Outcomes of the Summit include new public–private partnerships, the launch of education technologies and tools, investment opportunities, and thought leadership that helps align learning systems with workforce needs.
In July 2025, a merger was announced between Bett and GSV Summit with the goal of combining forces to redefine global EdTech.
Bett (also known as BETT) started in 1985 in London as the British Educational Training and Technology. At the forefront of education technology for educators, students, and parents, Bett (now the name for annal conferences in multiple nations) has hosted annual conferences in London, São Paulo, and Asia with over 90,000 attendees and over 70 Ministries of Education.
The united platform of Bett and GSV will host events on four continents with over 100,000 participants, resulting in the largest EdTech community in the world. A key benefit of the merger is the acceleration of high-impact ideas for the EdTech community.
