Program in Development
Building on last year's momentum.
The SilverTech Summit program is currently being developed with community partners, older adults, innovators, service providers, and ecosystem leaders.
This year, we want to include updates from some of last year's participants, presenters, vendors, and innovation partners — sharing what has happened since the first Summit, what moved forward, what they learned, and how community connection helped shape the next step.
Rather than creating a traditional conference agenda first and inviting seniors in later, we are shaping the day around meaningful participation, practical demonstrations, community learning, and real conversation.
Program elements will include
- Updates from last year's participants and innovation projects
- Senior-led conversations
- Innovation and service showcases
- Practical demonstrations
- Community partner discussions
- Research and aging innovation insights
- Opportunities for older adults to share feedback
- Networking between seniors, entrepreneurs, service providers, researchers, nonprofits, and funders
Full program details will be announced as speakers, partners, sponsors, and sessions are confirmed.
