Have you ever been in the middle of a passionate conversation, only to have your friend look down at their phone and lose interest in what you're saying? Have you ever done the same to someone else? The average cell phone user checks their phones 110 times a day and we wonder why we often miss the opportunity for a strong connection in in-person conversation.


For 24-hours you and your community are invited to use your cell phones for only phone calls. You are even encouraged to turn your phone off or leave it at home.


Whatever method of disconnection you feel comfortable with, the mission of the event is to engage with your loved ones and your community differently than you do all year.


***If you interested in mingling a phone-free family-friendly crowd, join us on the Boston Common at 2:00PM for a picnic! Bring a blanket and food ***
