Network Messenger is going live, and we're celebrating the way we think anything worth celebrating should be — in person, with friends, and fully present.


We'll be sitting down with Network's co-founder Alvaro Beeck, Emma Lembke of Log Off, and Arielle Geismer of Design it for Us for a 45-minute fireside chat on what real human connection looks like in age of AI, and what it actually takes to build for it. Moderated by Peter Schmidt, Co-founder and Program Director at the School of Radical Attention.


Then we'll put our phones away and prove the point.


Intimate. Curated. By invitation only.

From Attention to Intention

(Attention, Presence & Real Human Connection in the Age of AI)


We are living through a crisis of attention, and it is not an accident. This conversation is about what that costs us, who is pushing back, and what a better way forward actually looks like. The tone stays hopeful, honest, and grounded in real experience. Exploring how social platforms can be intentionally designed to protect your time, energy, and attention.


Presented with Project Liberty and the School of Radical Attention.
