The 7th annual LearnLaunch Across Boundaries Conference, New England’s premier edtech event, in Boston on January 31 and February 1, 2019

January 8, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

LearnLaunch and co-host MIT Office of Open Learning are proud to announce that Mawi Asgedom, author of Of Beetles and Angels and CEO of Mawi Learning, will join Across Boundaries as a keynote speaker on the subject of “Social Emotional Learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Join Asgedom, five keynotes, over 150 speakers in 50 breakout sessions, student showcases, startups, and more in Boston on January 31 and February 1, 2019 for the 7th annual LearnLaunch Across Boundaries Conference, New England’s premier edtech event.

“Across Boundaries participants tell us they love the authentic conversation of people with varied backgrounds, the scale, and the connections they make. Digital transformation is happening in all sectors and the LearnLaunch community is driving it in education,” said Eileen Rudden, Co-Founder and Board Chair at LearnLaunch. “The theme of Across Boundaries this year is ‘Education and Economic Mobility.’ Mawi Asgedom exemplifies the power and the possibility of education to transform lives and create value for the economy.”

Mawi Asgedom arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Ethiopia and experienced firsthand the transformative power of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) as it helped propel him to a scholarship to Harvard University and becoming an edtech entrepreneur. Mawi Learning provides scalable SEL solutions to help all students achieve a trajectory of success. He will speak alongside a distinguished group of keynotes:
