ICAA launches in the United Kingdom with active-aging event
Meeting to focus on developing active aging in the UK
VANCOUVER, BC—The International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), an association that has led, connected and defined the active-aging industry since 2001, will hold its first-ever event in the United Kingdom in July 2010. ICAA’s involvement in the UK to date has been through its members, as well as other associations and publications. The upcoming meeting marks ICAA’s launch into the UK market.
Scheduled to take place July 12–13 in London, the ICAA event has three objectives:
- to disseminate information about key topic areas related to active aging and wellness and the role of ICAA;
- to raise the profile of, and create an agenda for, the development of active-aging activities in the UK; and
- to bring together key interested agencies to reinforce the development of active aging in the UK.
The meeting will be hosted by ICAA Advisory Board Member Bob Laventure, older people’s consultant with the British Heart Foundation National Centre for Physical Activity and Health, and Claudine Aherne, founder, Vida Wellness Ltd. ICAA Founder and CEO Colin Milner will give the keynote address.
