At Bett, we believe that when the right people come together, the future of learning moves forward faster and with greater purpose. That belief deepens today as we welcome a transformative new partnership with the GSV Summit LLC.

We’re proud to share that Hyve, the global events group behind Bett, has welcomed GSV Summit – a powerhouse US-based event committed to a future where everyone has equal access to opportunity, enabled by scalable innovation in education and workforce development.

The GSV Summit now joins Bett as part of Hyve’s world-leading education portfolio, marking the beginning of a powerful alliance that brings together two communities committed to meaningful, lasting impact. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected platform to shape the future of learning worldwide.

Powerful Partnership. Bigger Possibilities.

By uniting two of the world’s most influential education communities, Bett and GSV Summit, we are creating the richest ecosystem of thought leaders, practitioners, innovators and disruptors in global EdTech. This partnership brings together educators, entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers from over 130 countries, unlocking new opportunities for connection, collaboration and impact.

Together, we’ll explore a broader, bolder agenda across the full spectrum of lifelong learning — from AI and digital transformation to equity, skills and workforce innovation. We’ll spotlight the next wave of dynamic start-ups, amplify bold ideas, and create the conditions for meaningful change across education and beyond.

As Mark Shashoua, our CEO, puts it:

“Together, GSV Summit and Bett form a powerful new alliance across the global learning landscape. We’re also thrilled that founders Deborah Quazzo, Michael Moe and Michael Cohn will continue to play a key role, with Deborah staying on as Chair, and Michael and Michael as Advisors, helping us keep GSV Summit’s founding mission of creating equal access to opportunity through innovation in education alive. The community and events they have built are of the highest quality.”

Portfolio Director for Bett, Duncan Verry, added: 

“Our Bett customers have told us time and again they want more access and insight into the U.S. and now we can deliver that. With GSV Summit joining forces with Bett, we’re building bridges between two complementary communities. GSV Summit also brings exceptional strength in adjacent sectors such as workforce learning, which adds real depth to our global EdTech platform and offers valuable opportunities for Bett to expand its reach and relevance across lifelong learning. We’re excited to create even more value together.”

Distinct Voices. Shared Values. One Mission.

This landmark alliance brings together two globally respected platforms, each with its own story, dedicated community and deep expertise, united by a shared mission to accelerate access, equity and excellence in education through innovation.

At Bett, we remain committed to our mission of driving better education, globally, continuing to champion digital learning, empower practitioners and connect the global education community through our flagship events in London, Brazil and Asia.

We are proud to welcome GSV Summit to our portfolio, whose bold vision and leadership have established it as a driving force in education and the future of work since 2010. GSV Summit will continue to lead the conversation on investment, workforce development and lifelong learning through its world-class gatherings in the United States, including the ASU+GSV Summit and The AI Revolution Show.

Bett and GSV Summit will continue as distinct brands, each with its own identity and strengths. Together, we will collaborate more closely, share insights and expand what’s possible for our global education community for real, lasting change.

Founders Deborah Quazzo, Michael Moe and Michael Cohn of GSV Summit, commented:

“Joining forces with Hyve and Bett, we will immediately convene over 100,000 ‘PreK to Gray’ education entrepreneurs, leaders, and practitioners across events in the US, UK, Brazil, and SEA—creating the largest global community focused on transformational change in learning and skills. For GSV, the combination allows us to remain relentlessly focused on ALL people having equal access to the future while leveraging the power of a world-class global event team.”

This partnership marks an important step forward in Hyve’s EdTech journey, expanding our presence in the U.S., deepening our global impact, and creating new opportunities for both GSV Summit and Bett to grow, evolve and connect their communities in even more meaningful ways.

Julie Driscoll, President of Hyve’s New Next Gen portfolio, which GSV Summit will join, said:

“In GSV Summit, we have found the perfect partner for Bett. Both events have incredibly passionate and committed communities, each motivated by the same meaningful purpose. And each event has something to offer the other – whether that’s through their network, operational excellence or industry insights. Together, they’ll be an unstoppable global force for good.” 

We’re looking forward to what comes next.
