Mar 13, 2025

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

Big Tech is driving us, our kids, and society mad. We need a bold, revolutionary framework for an epic reboot. What would social media look like if it nourished our critical thinking, mental health, privacy, civil discourse, and democracy?

Join Mark Weinstein, tech thought leader, privacy expert, and one of the visionary inventors of social networking, for an entertaining, informative, and frequently jaw-dropping social reset.

Web Inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee says: “Mark's vision, which I share, is a digital future that prioritizes human well-being. This is a vital read."
