NYC Council to Host Cyber Bullying Summit - Monday, July 18

Dear New Yorker, 

We just wanted to remind everyone about the Cyber Bullying Summit that we're hosting on Monday, July 18th, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at The Times Center, located at 242 West 41st Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues) in Manhattan.

Sponsored by The New York Times Company, this educational event will bring together widely renowned leaders in technology and Internet safety.  Facebook, Microsoft, MTV and other social media outlets will be available at the summit to speak to parents about what they can do to protect their children from cyber bullying and encourage responsible online behavior. 

Counselors, child advocates, and representatives from the NYC Department of Education, the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, and the NYC District Attorney's Office will also be at the summit, as will cyber bullying and cyber safety expert, Parry Aftab, founder of WiredSafety.com and creator of CyberBullying.org.  

We're thrilled to bring together this group of experts from industry, government and advocacy so we can provide parents and guardians the tools and information they need to keep their children safe in today's digital age.
