ASU+GSV Summit 2027 San Diego

The ASU+GSV Summit is a yearly education and workforce technology conference run by GSV Summit, LLC with Arizona State University. It began in 2010 with 350 people at ASU's SkySong facility, and the organiser calls 2027 its 18th year. The 2027 edition takes place from 4 to 7 April in San Diego, based at the Manchester Grand Hyatt with some sessions at the Marriott Marquis. Hyve, owner of Shoptalk and Bett, is named among its hosts and partners. The crowd mixes investors, founders, teachers, philanthropic funders and workforce leaders. The organiser cites more than 7,000 delegates a year, over 1,000 K-12 superintendents and principals, a similar number of higher education leaders, more than 1,000 education and skills technology companies and over 800 speakers. It sizes the education and skills market at $8 trillion and covers learners of every age, a range it labels PreK to Gray. A reception on the evening of 4 April opens the Summit, and sessions and workshops fill the next three days. The StageX main stage hosts a keynote reception and dinner on Monday and an afternoon slot on Tuesday, and the event closes on 7 April with a dinner and party at The Rady Shell by the bay. Town Square and school tours are also part of the format. In 2027 the AI Show is not staged on its own; its AI programming moves into the Summit. Michael M. Crow, Arne Duncan, Michelle Rhee and Dan Meyer are among the first speakers listed. A General Attendee pass costs $3,950 before 1 January 2027, then $4,550 before 1 April and $5,250 at the final rate. Verified discounts cost $2,500 for K-12 and higher education educators and $2,600 for not-for-profit staff and for startups. Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred for $75, and international visitors can request a visa invitation letter. For affiliates and media buyers the fit is indirect. This is an investor and founder gathering, not a performance marketing show, and nothing in the published schedule covers affiliate acquisition. It suits publishers and networks in the edtech and essay vertical that want to meet the companies behind learning products or see how schools and universities buy. With passes near $4,000, the value for a traffic buyer lies in partner meetings rather than sessions.
