Truth About Tech: Solutions for Digital Well-Being Livestream Portal

The livestream has ended. Don't worry! You can watch a full recording of the event here.

 

About the event

At the second annual Truth About Tech conference in Washington, D.C., Common Sense is leading the conversation around the present—and future—of kids' digital well-being. By engaging policymakers, educators, technologists, and child health experts, we can work together to identify and back solutions for technology that support its youngest and most vulnerable users: kids.

What are your biggest questions when it comes to kids and tech? Join the conversation by following Common Sense on Twitter and using the hashtag #DWB19.
