In this episode, Sabrina Sullivan, Director of Transformation + Ecosystem at the School for Advanced Digital Technology, shares her experiences attending SXSW. Specifically, she attended the EDU track, which brings educators, technologists, futurists, and venture capitalists together to gain new perspectives and applied knowledge to return to their daily roles. When attending a massive event like SXSW, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by choices of what topics to explore. Sabrina helps you understand how to get the most out of any conference you attend and will inspire you to push your thinking to new heights.
Sabrina spends a lot of time thinking about complex problems and asking questions about them. Whether it’s the impact of AI avatars in education, focusing on improving accessibility and meeting special needs, or asking who’s responsible for ensuring learners are employable after post-secondary, Sabrina is wildly curious about how to solve these problems. Her ability to challenge her assumptions and seek out diverse opinions are two tools she uses to connect disparate ideas and consider opportunities. No matter what vertical you work in, or what title you hold, this episode will provide you with crucial insights to effective problem solving for the future.
