Bio:
Honored by Newsweek as one of the “Women Shaping the 21st Century,” Tiffany Shlain is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, founder of The Webby Awards, and author of 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week, which will be published by Simon & Schuster September 2019. The book explores both her family’s decade-long practice of turning off all screens one day each week for what they call their “Technology Shabbats,” and the history, psychology, and science of technology, time on and time off, and the ramifications of our 24/7 world -- for individuals, society, and our democracy. The Albert Einstein Foundation selected Tiffany for their initiative Genius: 100 Visions of the Future, both for an upcoming book and as a group of people to come together and tackle today’s biggest issues. She is also the co-founder of two global initiatives, Character Day (her Henry Crown Fellow project) and 50/50 Day-- global days that unite millions of people through films, discussion materials, and a global livestream to address important issues shaping our lives. Character Day explores the science of character development (2019’s focus will be the relationship between one’s character and screen use and will be held on Sept 27-28) and 50/50 Day focuses on gender equity (April 2020). Tiffany’s films and work have received over 80 awards and distinctions including premieres at The Sundance Film Festival and being selected by The US State Department to represent America around the world. She serves on the Leadership Board of The Center on Media and Child Health at Harvard's Boston Children's Hospital, and the advisory board for WaitUntil8th.org, about delaying getting children smartphones.
