Devices are with us all the time. When we study, sleep, workout, hangout, drive, eat, and go to the bathroom! There is so much they help us do and learn. And there is a lot that makes what we want to do and learn a challenge. Pretty much, you are the first generation to manage a 24/7 connected world. How do you feel about that?

Get ready to make the Second Annual Virtual Youth Summit on Digital Wellbeing an event to remember! Register today.

You are welcome to participate as an individual or consider hosting a Watch Party! Gather your friends, classmates, or teammates to join in on this exciting summit together. Here’s why hosting a watch party is a great idea:

Connect and Collaborate: Share insights and brainstorm ideas with your crew in real-time.
Fun and Engaging: Make it a memorable day with snacks, discussions, and interactive sessions.
Be Leaders Together: Start planning how your group can take the ideas from the summit and create change in your school or community.

We have a great line up of young people and professionals in the field ready to listen and to inspire, to build community and connection, and to partner with you on your great ideas for how to benefit from digital media and how to minimize the drawbacks. That’s ultimately what we call digital wellbeing! It will be a great start to becoming a digital wellbeing leader in your community!
