Dear Colleagues,
The success of our 16th Annual Silicon Valley Boomer Venture Summit
and Business Plan Competition at the Claremont Hotel and Spa in Berkeley, California was undeniable!
More than 250 thought leaders came together to discuss what is
driving the
$7 trillion
longevity economy
. Read our latest blog post
with insights from Katie Guhr, a health care expert and 2019 Summit speaker, for important takeaways from the event.
We are keeping the momentum going with the launch of our
registration page
for the 2019 Washington Innovation in Longevity Summit!
The Summit will
take place
December 9-10, 2019
at the National Press Club! Too often, in Washington, D.C. and other global capitals, aging can be viewed as an economic liability. Yet we know innovation in the booming longevity economy can create dramatic savings, and new models for thinking about aging at the local, state, and federal government levels. Confirmed speakers this year include:
- Nancy LeaMond, Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer/EVP, AARP
We look forward to seeing you there!
Warmly,
