The keynote address has been a traditional component of Discover USC since its official debut in 2017. In the recent years, organizers have experimented with the format, offering live keynote speeches and virtual individual keynote speeches and even a keynote panel video in 2022.

Moving forward, the event will focus on the scholarly achievements and creativity of our undergraduate and graduate students, medical and postdoctoral scholars, with no official keynote. We invite readers to look back at past Discover USC keynotes through the keynote archive.
