Convening

Technology is built by code. Trust is built by people.

Sarell Convenings are welcoming, heart-led gatherings where tech creators and everyday people come together to look at technology through our shared human experiences. By leaving traditional hierarchies at the door and listening deeply to one another, we are co-creating a thoughtful digital world—one rooted in safety, well-being, and genuine connection.

Can technology be designed to support and even enhance our collective well-being?

At Sarell, we believe the answer is a resounding YES!

Join us at the 2026 Sarell Convening, a virtual gathering designed to explore how we can weave user well-being into product lifecycles and rebuild trust in tech. We intentionally curate a balanced, interdisciplinary room bringing together technologists, social scientists, policymakers, tradespeople, parents, youth, and everyday users so diverse perspectives can shape a better path forward.

If you are passionate about the intersection of technology, trust, and well-being, we’d love to have you in the conversation.

Our 2024 Convening

On Nov 22 and Dec 7, 2024, Sarell brought together nearly 50 attendees from a wide range of backgrounds, professions, and ages to discuss trust, tech and well-being. 

We focused on the impact of social platforms, like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. on the well-being of users, especially the next generation, and how best to amplify the positive effects. 

Attendees joined from four different continents with experience in tech, psychology, public policy, academia and research. Several students (16-24 yo) were also in attendance and actively engaged.
