How can we move beyond algorithms that foster isolation to create technology that truly connects us?


Dive into the root causes of the loneliness crisis and explore how Big Tech’s business models and design choices shape our daily experiences. This program will look at how technology, including AI, can be reimagined as a bridge: strengthening relationships, enhancing cultural empathy, and helping people reconnect with their community


At this one-night-only event, thought leaders will share practical ways to design digital tools with intent; tools that make people feel safe, seen, and genuinely inspired to engage with others.


After the conversation, continue the evening in our Connection Marketplace—a vibrant vendor area featuring small businesses, artisans, and community organizations focused on creativity and human connection. It’s a chance to engage face-to-face with local changemakers and discover experiences that build a more connected world.


This program is free, thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
