Tech Detox: Can You Survive a Day w/o Technology?
Join us for a technology-free panel where we hear from industry leaders, entrepreneurs and tech titans as they share their secrets of unplugging, and how they're given more power in their day to day lives by creating sacred “no connection” time every week. Inspired by Reboot’s National Day of Unplugging, this is a tweet-free, in-the-moment event. Be there then, or never. http://www.causes.com/unplugpledge
