Join the edX 2nd Birthday Celebration
It's been two whole years since we launched edX and embarked on our mission to deliver quality education to everyone, everywhere in the world. And, what an amazing two years it has been. We could not be prouder of our learners, partners, faculty and staff for everything they have accomplished. We've been touched by learners’ stories from all walks of life and amazed by how people are using our courses to better their lives.

This year, we want to invite you, our learners, to our 2nd birthday celebration. On May 15, from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT, join us via livestream for edX’s birthday party. We'll be taking questions live on air via Twitter and Facebook. Tune in for a chance to meet your favorite professors and to win cool edX prizes.

Add the party to your calendar and bookmark the livestream today.
