COMMON CODE: How do we shift from “always on” to “intentionally present”?

​In a world designed to keep us constantly connected, what does it mean to truly be present? This conversation invites us to explore digital burnout, attention fatigue, and the possibilities of being fully here - with ourselves, each other, and our surroundings. Together, we’ll reflect on how Toronto’s tech culture might help shape new norms around presence, pace, and pause.

Five days. Five public spaces. Five big questions.

Common Code is a free pop-up conversation series hosted by Reset that invites Toronto’s tech community to gather in public spaces to explore questions at the intersection of tech, trust, and togetherness in Toronto. Each day, we bring a new question to life in a different neighbourhood that invites Town Hall-like dialogue and debate on topics related to surveillance, sovereignty, safety and more. An unplug valet will be available at each pop-up for anyone wishing to go phone free.
