Deficits of trust, empathy, and a sense of common purpose are defining characteristics of the current moment in America. Our social fabric is threadbare as deepening polarization spills into many aspects of community life.

The systems and technologies that shape how people communicate with each other and consume information are redefining what connection looks like in America. Algorithmic feeds, AI-generated content, and fragmented digital media environments can foment division and deepen social isolation, but the same underlying tech and infrastructure can create opportunities to broker dialogue, trust, and positive human relationships.

Join NationSwell for part two of a two-part Mainstage series on Restoring Social Connection in America. In this hourlong program, a panel of leading experts and practitioners will explore the essential role companies, media leaders, and institutions must play in shaping a less divisive information ecosystem and a healthier digital world for us to inhabit.
