Connect with ASU tech leadership at ASU+GSV 2025

At a time when artificial intelligence (AI), digital platforms, personalized learning tools and new workforce demands are transforming education, the pace of change is unprecedented — and the potential impact is limitless.

ASU’s technology leadership will be sharing insights, leading sessions and engaging in conversation about this accelerating shift in education in San Diego, California at ASU+GSV Summit from April 6-9. The theme of this year’s ASU+GSV Summit, "Learning at the Speed of Light," speaks to the rapid innovation that is influencing education, technology and workforce development.

“Enterprise Technology is proud to be part of this conversation at this year’s ASU+GSV,” said Lev Gonick, chief information officer at ASU. “We believe that technology is not just accelerating learning; it’s expanding opportunity, breaking down barriers and creating new pathways for learners worldwide. But with that speed comes the need for thoughtful, human-centered approaches that ensure access, equity and real-world impact.”

In addition to the ASU+GSV Summit, teams will be at The Show @ ASU+GSV from April 5-7 to demonstrate AI in action at ASU.
