When thousands of education and workforce experts gather in San Diego next week for the ninth annual , they鈥檒l be ready to speak about some of the biggest issues facing the country over the next few decades: yawning racial and socioeconomic gaps in access to education, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the need to prepare today鈥檚 kids to be tomorrow鈥檚 workers.

Bush and former U.S. education secretaries Arne Duncan and John King; social entrepreneurs, including Girls Who Code鈥檚 Reshma Saujani and OZY鈥檚 Carlos Watson; business leaders, including Pearson鈥檚 John Fallon and Fossil鈥檚 Janiece Evans-Page; and celebrity education activists John Legend and Matthew McConaughey.
