Education
The Voice of Education Summit is the first conference to specifically examine the intersection of voice-first technology (e.g. Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant, Apple's Siri, Samsung's Bixby, and many others) and modern education: K-12, higher education, and continuous professional learning.
Voice technology is a natural way for students to interact with their education. With Amazon Alexa, students worldwide are getting more from their educational experience by simplifying how they get information and stay organized. Institutions can personalize campus life by building a private skill, giving students daily flash briefings and helping them quickly find campus information. EdTechs and learning companies can reach students where they live and study with access to coursework, study prep, or financial aid information.
