The Art of Gathering: Overcoming Isolation Through Connection

Over the last few years, we’ve all been through a lot, and research shows what we all know intuitively: being part of a community makes a big difference for our mental health. In this conversation, we’ll hear from acting U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering, about how event creators are uniquely positioned to rekindle connection when we need it most. They’ll offer insights on how creators can adapt to common challenges and design meaningful moments that help to remedy loneliness and social isolation.
