We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Ángel Cabrera, the president of the Georgia Institute of Technology, will be delivering a keynote address at the combined EMOOCS and Open edX Conference, on July 2nd, 2025. You can register for the conference here.
Dr. Cabrera is the 12th president of the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the first native of Spain to serve as president of an American university. Since his arrival in the fall of 2019, Georgia Tech’s enrollment has grown to an all-time high, applications have broken Institute and state records, and the undergraduate program ranks among the four most-selective public universities in the U.S. Offering best-in-class graduation rates and career outcomes, coupled with lower tuition and fees than most other leading research universities, Georgia Tech is consistently recognized for offering one of the best returns on investment for students. Guided by the Institute’s mission to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition, Dr. Cabrera has led Georgia Tech’s efforts to bridge excellence and accessibility, ensuring a world-class education reaches as many people as possible.
As one of the first universities to offer a fully online master’s degree in computer science, Georgia Tech is a pioneer in online education. The program is now the largest of its kind in the world. This groundbreaking initiative not only demonstrated Georgia Tech’s commitment to accessibility and innovation but also set the stage for other institutions to explore similar models of online learning.
As a business educator, Cabrera played a key role in advancing professional ethics, internationalization, and corporate social responsibility. In 2007, while serving as a senior advisor to the United Nations Global Compact, he was the lead author of the “Principles for Responsible Management Education” (PRME). A United Nations–supported initiative that advances sustainable development through management education, PRME has been adopted by more than 800 schools around the world. He is also a co-founder of the University Global Coalition, a global network of universities working in partnership with the United Nations in support of its Sustainable Development Goals.
Join us for this exciting keynote session, where Dr. Cabrera will share his insights on the intersection of technology, education, and innovation and discuss how platforms like the Open edX LMS can help shape the future of higher education.
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more updates as we look forward to welcoming Dr. Ángel Cabrera to the EMOOCS and Open edX Conference 2025, taking place between June 30th and July 4th, 2025. Register today to secure your seat!
