Setup
Join this roundtable discussion — led by Aspen Digital’s Vivian Schiller and Zaki Barzinji — for an engaging conversation about the impact of emerging technologies and platforms on youth. We will also be joined by diverse Gen Z leaders, researchers, and industry experts, who will talk about what they see as both the threats and opportunities of today’s digital world, particularly for underserved youth from immigrant, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and economically disadvantaged communities. This session is part of the Aspen Institute initiative, The Kids Are Alright, which focuses on connecting, protecting, and engaging young people online.
