2U : Join 2U at ASU + GSV 2021

ASU + GSVwas one of the first conferences we engaged with during our formative years, and as we've scaled our mission, it too has grown. Today, ASU + GSV is one of the most well-regarded edtech conferences, bringing to life thought-provoking conversations on the intersection of education and innovation, and we're proud to be a part of it.

Throughout our partnership, ASU + GSV has provided us the opportunity to share our bold vision, make historic announcements, and shed light on the deep insights we've learned through our experience working alongside some of the most brilliant minds in higher education. This year, we once again look forward to offering our take on the power of education to transform lives for the better-now and in the future.

With three sessions in 2021, we will discuss the opportunities that exist to increase access and opportunity in higher education, the importance of career relevance to drive mobility and equity, and how the 2U-edX combination will impact generations to come. Check out each of our sessions below to learn more about how we're showing up at ASU + GSV. We look forward to seeing you there-online or in person. #ASUGSVSummit
