What is Agentic AI and the Student Experience?
We’re so glad you asked.
Agentic AI and the Student Experience is a global summit that brings together higher education and industry leaders who are committed to shaping the future of AI and education.
Hosted by Arizona State University and its partners, this first-of-its-kind summit delves into how agentic AI revolutionizes the student experience –from personalized learning tools to intelligent tutoring systems and beyond. Together, we spotlight emerging trends, tackle ethical considerations and gain insights on the unique and shared successes from industry experts, educators, and students alike.
Aligned with ASU’s Charter and mission to advance student success and inclusive excellence, the summit spotlights tools and real-world applications that center access, ethics and empowerment in AI innovation.
In our inaugural summit last year, we maxed out our impact across attendees, speakers and sponsors. And we’re looking to do it again this year!
Join us as we showcase trailblazing projects, spark collaborative partnerships and champion the responsible use of AI to elevate the student experience.
Let’s build the future together!
