SUMMARY:Human Algorithm Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join the Workday Foundation and human connection experts for an event to address the escalating crisis of social isolation and disconnection in the AI era. Loneliness and social isolation are at an all-time high. AI is poised to pull us even further apart if we aren’t intentional about investing in human connection and thinking deeply about when AI (and AI companions) might enhance\, or harm\, our human flourishing. This summit is a crucial\, cross-sector convening of prosocial tech founders\, nonprofit innovators growing IRL movements on the ground in community\, and academics\, researchers and thought leaders studying AI’s impact on relationships\, behavior\, and trust. What will human connectedness at school\, home\, work and at the community-level look like in the age of AI? The Summit’s ultimate goal is to elevate human connection as an urgent societal cause worthy of sustained attention\, intentional policies\, and ongoing investment. \nRegister and explore speakers here.

SUMMARY:Connected Cities Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for historic gathering of leaders shaping the future of our cities and communities to prioritize human connection. \nFor the last 60 years\, we have optimized our cities and culture for individualism and commerce. The result is a country where most people are disconnected and divided. But that is starting to change. Across the country\, civic innovators—organizers\, community builders\, and cross-sector leaders—are building a new civic era\, redesigning our cities and communities around social connection. \nThe Connected Cities Summit is where we come together to map what communities are building and create a shared vision for how together we can support social connection and trust. \n\n\n\n\n\nExperience a two-day creative sprint: part design studio\, part civic gathering\, part dinner table. \nThe Connected Cities Summit is designed to co-author a shared blueprint that we can all bring back to our communities to inform and inspire our work for the next decade.It offers: \n\nShared vision and narrative to guide our field.\nVivid description of the key infrastructure needed.\nPractical pathways for collaboration.
