The World's Preeminent PreK to Gray Summit

Unlocking Opportunity at Scale for Learning, Work, and Human Potential

GSV Summit was founded in 2010 and, in partnership with ASU, launched the ASU+GSV Summit—the premier global convening for innovative leaders transforming the $8 trillion education and skills sector. The 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.

About the 2027 Theme

What the World Needs Now...

This year’s theme, What the World Needs Now..., is an invitation to confront the biggest questions facing education, work, and society with both ambition and purpose. In an era of accelerating technology and constant change, the theme reminds us that love is the foundation for human flourishing—and a practical call to build boldly, lead responsibly, and treat every learner’s future as our own. It celebrates the builders, believers, and partners expanding opportunity across every stage of life. Above all, it asks us to turn possibility into progress through connection and shared action. What the world needs now is what it has always needed: what every great teacher, parent, coach, and citizen does. Not quite a silver bullet, but a golden rule.
