NewKid at VivaTech : Save The Date 🔥
Meet us in Paris on June 20, 2026 for a day of conversations about raising children in the age of AI
Hi everyone!
I am so stoked to share the news with you firsthand:
The first edition of the NewKid Days is happening next June 20, in the heart of Europe’s largest tech event : VivaTech 🔥
What will it be like?
A full day, a large space, incredible speakers, addressing the burning topic that will just keep on growing : raising children in the age of AI.
This event will be designed for families - yep, I expect you to come with your children, that’s actually the whole point.
We will:
Learn alongside the most brilliant and passionate practitioners, a mix of public figures and outsiders.
Expand (our horizons) alongside families, educators and schools exploring different paths.
Play alongside experts at crafting unforgettable moments.
Why am I doing this?
Right now, the conversation about AI and children is mainly happening in two places: high-level policy summits, and complex - or else extensive - academic reports. Both are important. None of them truly is accessible to parents nor feels connected to our everyday realities.
The opportunities to genuinely engage with these questions are scarce, and the questions themselves could not be more important. We are raising the next generation of citizens and decision-makers. Who do we want them to be? What role should technology play in shaping them?
I want to create an unforgettable time for families : I want them to feel welcome (at any age), present, listened to, empowered to build tomorrow. I want parents to feel connected with their children and vice versa. I want to help shift the mindset from passive to active, I want them to bring back pieces of that event back home.
Meanwhile, I want to create an unforgettable time for speakers, too : I want them to come with their families, stay and hang out for a while, connect with one another and with the public.
There will be insights, emotions, connections, all at once.
Will you be there too? ♥️
