For parents of young kids, the bigger question is simpler: can any of this make family life easier?   Join Vivvi and AVA for a practical session on how AI fits into real family life. The goal isn’t to optimize every minute. It’s to take some of the mental load off your plate so you have more presence and energy for connection and the moments that matter.     ##### We'll cover: - The landscape: an overview of today’s AI tools, what makes them different, and where they fit for working parents. - Guardrails: what to share, what to keep private, and how to build trust with AI tools at your own pace - Real parent challenges: from planning for a work trip to managing daycare logistics, school emails and the endless family to-do list, we’ll walk through everyday challenges and show how to tackle them with AVA and other AI tools You’ll leave knowing which tools are right for your family, how to use them with confidence, and how to let technology handle the admin and logistics so you can focus on connection.   Have a challenge you’d love help with? Share it when you register and we may solve it live during the session.   # Speakers  ![Lauren Hobbs Sept 2023](https://go.vivvi.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Lauren%20Hobbs%20Sept%202023.jpg?width=123&height=185&name=Lauren%20Hobbs%20Sept%202023.jpg) Lauren Hobbs leads Vivvi’s efforts to reimagine how we support working parents and families.

Unlike just another calendar management tool, AVA doesn't create another system to manage but instead proactively anticipates and moves things forward to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Laura is a product leader with more than fifteen years of experience building technology for the human systems meant to serve people, from public education to emerging tech. She began at the New York City Department of Education in Mayor Bloomberg’s Office of Innovation, went on to KIPP and several ed-tech startups building products for teachers, students and families, and most recently led AI product strategy at NEAR, a layer-1 blockchain and deep-tech company. The idea for AVA came from her own life: while juggling a high-intensity job and her daughters’ increasingly demanding schedules, she hit a breaking point as a mother and set out to build the support she wished she’d had.
