Visit our Canada siteHow do we make meaningful connections in this age of technology, distancing, and new ways of thinking that challenge the norm? This is what Expo Mom hopes to focus on this August 14-15, in its trademark two-day conference happening for FREE on our Facebook page.
Our Into the Mom Mind survey revealed that gadgets and technology are part and parcel of a mom and children’s everyday life. If gadget use had to be regulated before this pandemic, today, there are new factors to consider as schooling has gone online. Even work and our relationships now depend on technology.
In response, we are giving the moms and dads of our community a platform to share the challenges and benefits of their multi-gadget lives through insightful expert-led segments, a sharing of experiences from our momfluencers and dadfluencers, and some members of our Mommy Mundo Board of Experts to help lead meaningful discussions that will aim to lead towards a eureka moment (or series of moments) that will show moms how they can use their tech to nurture their most meaningful connections.
