Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The 14th Annual
What's Next Boomer Business Summit
, which took place during the

of engaging networking with other businesses, startups, and aging industry experts.
Attendees left with a network of extraordinary innovators in the mature consumer space, and these connections will undoubtedly have an impact on the future of the boomer marketplace for years to come.
