Theme: The Psychology of #socialmedia

We're excited to invite you to our upcoming salon themed: The Psychology of #socialmedia

Here's what it's about:
When something is as prevalent in our lives as social media, it warrants a re-think! Or at least, a deeper thinking about the incentives with which these apps are created, the impact they have on our day-to-day lives, and how we consciously want to move forward.

Together, let's enjoy an evening of TED talks, live speakers, stimulating discussions along with performances.
