The agenda includes two expert panels focused on both pain points and solutions, as well as participant discussion.<br><br>The first panel brings together key stakeholders\u2014Employers, Schools, Healthcare leaders, and Parent advocates\u2014who are working to understand and address the impacts of technology on human experience. Each group provides a distinct perspective on how technology is changing human interaction, cognitive performance, and emotional well-being. The panel will explore critical challenges: workplace productivity decline, academic disruption, emerging mental health concerns, and the physiological impacts of excessive screentime and tech dependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the second panel assembles digital wellness innovators. From minimalist technology designers to digital literacy programs, these solution providers are developing new approaches to our technology interactions. The panel will move beyond fear-based rhetoric to present evidence-based approaches to digital wellness. Attendees will gain insights into emerging technologies, intervention methods, and potential strategies for improving our technological ecosystem.<br><br>This event is open to Signatories and Advisors on the Inspired Internet Pledge.

As we continue to navigate the youth mental health crisis, a new school year can seem more stressful than ever. What role does tech play in youth mental health? As schools become more integrated with digital devices, will young peoples\u2019 mental health be affected? What role can tech play in strengthening your child\u2019s mental health? What online safety measures can we take to make sure young people have a safe, successful and mentally healthy school year? Join FOSI as we attempt to answer these questions and more with moderator Alanna Powers, mental health\/tech professionals Dr. Shairi Turner, Patricia Noel, Nicole Owings-Fonner and Claudia-Santi F.
