Our story

We WILL be the generation that reintroduced connections: Generation Connect.

We possess the tools, knowledge, and technology to become the most connected humans in history. Yet paradoxically, we are becoming the loneliest. It's time to reverse that trend. Gen C has entered the chat.

Social media and modern tech, the very tools meant to connect us, often leave us feeling more disconnected. They've outgrown our needs, shaping us in ways that take a toll. We believe we together can influence a change where they are redesigned to support real connection.

We are starting our journey small with our Connected Events, where we step away from digital noise together and rediscover the power of presence. These moments offer a rare opportunity to be fully ourselves, experiencing genuine human connection and opening up for more.

FAQ

More About the Events. More About Us.

The best way to understand Generation Connect is to experience it in person. But here's a good place to start.

What is Generation Connect?

Generation Connect is the start of a movement. We want to wake people up to the toll technology and social media are taking on our lives, and help create better ways to connect. We're starting with offline events, but this is bigger than events.

Why are we doing this?

Because we've all felt it. You're in a real moment, then stop to answer a text, check an email, or post a story. Then it's onto the next thing. That's not how we want to live. We want to create better options and make presence a choice again.

What is the format of the event?

There's no fixed format. We'll offer activities for offline time, but you can spend the event however feels right to you — join a conversation, do an activity, reflect, or just be around other people doing their own offline thing.

What happens at a Generation Connect event?

At the start, you'll put your phone and other electronics in a pouch for the event. After that, the time is yours: uninterrupted conversation, reflection, or offline activities. That's the point.

Who is this for?

Maybe you know your phone has too much of your attention and you want to change that. Come join us. Maybe you think going a couple of hours without your phone is easy. Come prove it.

Is the event free?

Right now, yes. We're still exploring the movement and shaping the experience. Over time, we'll introduce paid events and donation-based events to create the best experience possible. All offline, of course.

What's next?

More events, more people, and something much bigger growing from it. Generation Connect is just getting started.
