Keynotes
Keynote by Juliana Schroeder:
Real Talk: Communication, Connection, & AI
Technology has transformed how we talk, but not always how well we understand one another. Schroeder draws on perennial and recent social psychology principles to provide best practices for communicating across speech, text, video, social media, and AI-mediated interactions, and why some channels foster more trust, empathy, and constructive disagreement than others.
Keynote by Juliana Schroeder:
Minds, Machines, & Meaning
This talk discusses how humans make sense of other minds, both human and artificial and how that affects our experiences of connection, understanding, and meaning. Schroeder offers a framework for thinking about relationships, mind perception, and the future of social life in an AI-driven world.
Keynote by Juliana Schroeder:
Building Your Social Health
Strong relationships are one of the most powerful predictors of health, happiness, and longevity, yet modern life often makes meaningful connection harder to build and sustain. Schroeder shares the science of social connection and explains how everyday interactions, digital habits, and social technologies can either strengthen or undermine our social health. This talk offers strategies for building richer relationships and living a more connected, resilient, and flourishing life.
Keynote by Juliana Schroeder:
Constructive Conflict: How to Disagree Better
Conflict is inevitable, but it does not have to be destructive. In this talk, Schroeder draws on the psychology of communication, disagreement, and perspective-taking to explain why conflicts so often go wrong and how people can navigate them with more skill, understanding, and effectiveness across in-person and digital settings. Audiences will learn tools for reducing defensiveness, improving dialogue, and finding common ground even in difficult conversations.
