2026 Amplify Youth Summit

Welcome to UnMuted

The mic is on. You in? 🎤✨

Three days. Less adult noise, more youth-driven solutions. We’re kicking off U.S. Media Literacy Week by bringing together the bold young leaders rewriting the script on digital wellbeing. The future is being shaped right now, and we’re turning the volume all the way up.

We’re excited to announce the second annual UnMuted Amplify Youth Summit hosted by the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, NAMLE, and the McGee Applied Research Center for Narrative Studies taking place from October 22-25 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN.

We’re building on the incredible momentum of our inaugural summit by bringing together young people (ages 14-22) from around the US, industry leaders, nonprofits, and researchers for honest dialogue, collaborative problem-solving, and action around digital wellbeing.

Through interactive experiences designed for and with youth, participants will help shape real solutions, co-creating pathways toward healthier digital spaces while building the agency, tools, and connections needed to thrive both online and off.
