  • Pleasure & Permission: A Better Digital World Doesn’t Censor Our Experiences

    When
    June 25, 2026 (EDT)
    Where
    New York, NY
    Hosted by
    Communia

    A better digital world for women, queer communities, and marginalized groups is a sex-positive one. Not because every platform needs to be about sex, but because no platform can fully serve us while pretending desire, embodiment, and pleasure don’t exist. Olivia DeRamus runs Communia, the social platform redefining what it means to feel safe online as a woman. Ami Gan, former CEO of OnlyFans, now co-leads Vylit, rewriting the rules of the creator economy for the post-OnlyFans generation.

    ​This is not a panel about hashtags. It’s a candid hour (inclusive of the audience) on what a better digital world looks like when big social shadowbans while encouraging harassment, app stores moderate, investors flinch, and women and queer communities still carry the cultural cost of being too much, too loud, and too visible.

    July 13, 2026 – July 14, 2026
    Where
    New York City, NY
    Hosted by
    All Tech Is Human and Tech Ethics Lab

    As artificial intelligence transitions from a passive tool to an active agent with the advent of agentic AI, the fundamental nature of how we work is undergoing a profound transformation. At All Tech Is Human, they recognize that this “Agentic Shift” is more than just a technological upgrade; it is a societal and organizational evolution that requires diverse perspectives and thoughtful stewardship. To help meet the moment, they are putting together two workshops.

    This July, they are hosting a timely workshop series in New York City designed to bridge the gap between technological & business potential and real human experiences, ensuring that they adequately wrestle with the financial and ethical tensions inherent with this shift.

  • Addressing the Rise of Nihilistic Violence Extremism (NVE) and Sadistic Online Behavior

    When
    September 3, 2026 11:00 am – 2:00 pm (CDT)
    Where
    Virtual
    Hosted by
    Association for the Treatment & Prevention of Sexual Abuse

    Within the past few years, domestic and international law enforcement have grown increasingly concerned about a collection of online communities, colloquially referred to as the Comms, that target adolescents. The perpetrators engage in various tactics to build a relationship with the youth victim before inflicting a range of harms. For instance, online predators purposely target vulnerable populations with mental illness while engaging in love-bombing, sextortion, and self-mutilation encouragement. Though the techniques and harms inflicted are appalling, what is perhaps equally unsettling is that most offenders are adolescents themselves.

    Attendees will learn about the various factions that make up this decentralized system, as well as how perpetrators use their crimes as a form of social currency to boost their reputations. Participants will learn about different elements under the Nihilistic Violence Extremist (NVE) umbrella, like 764, No Lives Matter, mass attacks, white supremacy, and the occult.
