The mobile revolution has not only changed the tools of play; it's changed the rules.

From toddlers to tweens to twenty-somethings, life is an ebook, ready to upload. Kids can—and do—play, connect, and communicate 24/7. The kind of device they own is secondary; a keyboard and fingers are really all they need. The rest is just i-candy.

Sandbox Summit will make sense of what this real-time technology is teaching our kids. And what their usage is teaching us. Come hear the latest research, touch the newest devices, and discover what happens after Gen Z.

Play Rocks!

Play is how kids learn. Technology is an enticement.
By creating a forum for conversation around play and technology, Sandbox Summit strives to ensure that the next generation of players becomes active innovators, rather than passive users, of technology.
