The 2025 Digital Media and Developing Minds International Scientific Congress is an interdisciplinary convening that will bring together researchers, clinicians, educators, government agency representatives, and others with expertise in child development, psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, pediatrics, communications, social work, public health, education, human-computer interaction and more to explore how digital media use impacts the social, psychological, cognitive, behavioral, and physical development of children and adolescents. 

This four-day conference will be held at the Westin Downtown, 999 9th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. and will feature a variety of events, including featured keynotes, interdisciplinary panel discussions, new research presentations, flash talks, a Tools and Methodologies Exposition, poster sessions, and networking opportunities.

Building on the momentum of our sold out Congress in 2023 and the Institute’s two previous convenings, the 2025 Congress is sure to be a can’t miss event!
