Call for action in a longer-lived society
Future of Ageing Conference: Wednesday 29 November, 9am-6pm
The world is going through turbulent times. But one thing is certain – it is getting older.
The International Longevity Centre – UK (ILC-UK) is the UK’s leading independent, non-partisan think tank working on longevity, ageing and demographic change. It has been active for 16 years and has witnessed some significant change over this time.
This year’s Future of Ageing Conference will take place on Wednesday 29 November.
A spokesman for the ILC-UK said: “The annual Future of Ageing Conference aims to reinvigorate those of us already convinced of the importance of ageing. But to achieve the transformation we must reach beyond the usual suspects. We need businesses, entrepreneurs, people managers, and marketing professionals to work with the charity sector and policy makers and politicians to deliver change. And we need to help provide the evidence to make the case for action.
“Our third conference will seek to kick-start that transformation. It won’t be a run-of-the-mill ‘ageing’ conference. It will be different. We will challenge and energise you. We want the conference to lead to change. If we are to make the most of the opportunity of age we need to engage businesses and community leaders to act.
“We want everyone to come away learning something new and with a plan to act. We will set the groundwork to inspire and support government, business and voluntary organisations to better prepare, adapt and prosper in a longer-lived society. The conference will reach new businesses and other stakeholders.
“It will also host a panel debate entitled ‘The Future of the End: Living forever, or dying in style?’, to explore the often neglected issue of death, dying and disposal with policy makers and business leaders.”
The Future of Ageing Conference will be held in Central London.
