Program
The program is centred around the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, the world’s largest EdTech conference, and aims to build an understanding of the USA EdTech Innovation ecosystem. We will host briefings with leading US EdTech thinkers, curate networking opportunities and connect you with consultants that will support your US growth.
However, the real value of a huge conference like ASU+GSV is what happens outside of the main program. EduGrowth will guide you through the side-meetings and other informal aspects of the summit where you often gain the most valuable insights and connections.
