Age Positive Conference

Age Positive Header

The annual Age Positive: Ideas for an Age-Friendly Future conference provides a forum for innovative program ideas to enhance current older adult programming, develop new programs and offers workshops to help participants hone leadership skills. The conference brings national and regional presenters together to discuss best practices in their fields.  

Hosted by a partnership of regional organizations, this conference is best suited for professionals and volunteers working in senior centers, community centers, libraries, park districts and other venues that offer programming for older adults. 

Age Positive is the only local conference for professionals in aging. Every year I learn something new and connect with new people.
