ASU is proud to announce two special events: Innovation Week, a week-long event featuring sessions that challenge attendees to think about ideas and find opportunities to collaborate with others to find solutions, will be taking place December 7-11. Innovation Quarter will continue through January 8, diving into intriguing topics and creative projects that explore new ideas, build connections and enhance valuable professional skills.

ASU will be hosting over 200 individual free events and sessions to attend during Innovation Quarter, including 35 sessions that can be attended self-paced at any time.
