WHO WE ARE

Past keynote speakers have included former President George W. Bush, Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Sal Khan, Priscilla Chan, Ruby Bridges, Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, and countless others who have inspired our community to take bold action. Leading partners such as Google, Microsoft, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Gates Foundation, Walton Family Foundation, ClassDojo, and others help power this community.

WHO IS THE PRODUCT TEAM?
The Product Team is the creative and strategic engine behind the ASU+GSV Summit experience. We design and deliver the program of ASU+GSV, through curated content and experiences that inspire action: from high-production keynotes with global thought leaders to provocative panels, interactive workshops, community activations, and live product demos.
We bridge marketing, strategic partnerships, and community engagement to craft seamless, high-impact experiences for our attendees and partners. We collaborate closely with education leaders, practitioners, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, researchers, and thought leaders to shape the conversations that matter most in “PreK to Gray” learning.
Our work is structured around three core verticals—PreK-12, Higher Education, and Workforce—but the real power is in what we call “the magic in the mix.” Program often develops across verticals, so every team member takes a collaborative approach. We lean in to build the right program for the right audience at the right time, staying agile to launch new programs and rethink existing ones as needed. ROLE OVERVIEW We’re looking for a highly organized, execution-focused Jr. Product Manager to support the PreK-12 team at the ASU+GSV Summit.
