The Summit headliners include Rob Minkoff (co-director of Disney's The Lion King), AI artist Kelly Boesch, Baratunde Thurston, and Philip Su — and we'll preview the speaker lineup, the access programs ($95 two-day passes for Coachella Valley residents; free admission for local students and educators), and how to get involved.
