I just found out about this conference, which was held at MIT on April 17-18.  The summit examines how children play, how they interact with technology, and how that technology is changing the way they play.  You can view videos from the conference here.  I’m going to try to go next year.

Sandbox Summit is a series of conferences designed to address how technology affects the ways kids play, learn, and connect. As technology is woven into every aspect of our children’s lives, Sandbox Summit raises the bar on questions surrounding the use and development of their new toys and tools.
