he LeadingAge Annual Meeting and Expo is the largest aging services show in the country. You can’t afford to miss out on this opportunity to engage directly with leaders in this market.
GSA’s 68th Annual Scientific Meeting brings together more than 4,000 of the brightest minds in the field of aging. This meeting is the premier gathering of gerontologists from both the United States and around the world. They participate in over 450 scientific sessions including symposia, paper, and poster presentations. The 2015 theme is “Aging as a Lifelong Process,” which highlights the fact that what gerontologists study is actually the cumulative outcome of lifelong events that culminate during old age. These effects, which can begin at the earliest stage of fetal development, encompass biology, social interactions, historical events, psychological experiences, and public policy. Importantly, the life-course effects on aging are best viewed through the interdisciplinary lens that is the signature feature of GSA.
The 2015 conference theme challenges researchers to highlight possible consequences of early life effects on aging, be it through biomedical events, nutrition, socioeconomic status, educational opportunities, stressful life experiences, or social relationships. The conference theme also challenges educators, both in the formal academic setting, and in communicating with the general public, to transmit the importance of lifelong experiences and lifestyle choices on the process of aging. Through the diverse research disciplines of our members and the expansion of our view of aging as a lifelong process, we have the potential to truly enhance the prospect of healthy aging.
The Annual Scientific Meeting’s location, Orlando, is at the heart of America’s Sunshine State and home to Walt Disney World, which represents a pioneering endeavor based on a combination of innovation and imagination — the perfect backdrop for our robust scientific program.

AGE Platform Europe is happy to invite you to its 3rd annual conference, which will be held on 20 November 2015 in Brussels back to back with AGE General Assembly. Our
annual event is open to all AGE members and external stakeholders.
EU role in protecting older people’s social and economic rights With older people organisations’ leaders, academics, industry and EU representatives, we will explore how – using a rights-based approach in policies and grass-root practices – the EU institutions, Member States and local actors can support older people’s right to age in dignity.
The conference outcomes will feed into our campaign “Towards an AgeFriendly EU” and will contribute to the creation of age-friendly environments across Europe supported by a strong EU Silver Economy.
NGOs, non-for-profit and for-profit service providers and industry are invited to join the conference and present their own initiatives in the exhibition space, showing to our audience how they contribute to enhancing the quality of life of older people, reinforcing their ability to age in dignity and facilitating their active participation in society.
