Presenter: Chip Conley

Entrepreneur and visionary thought leader Chip Conley is the founder of the Modern Elder Academy. He also acts as Airbnb’s strategic advisor for hospitality and leadership. At age 26, Conley converted an inner-city motel into the second-largest boutique hotel brand in the United States: Joie de Vivre Hospitality. After leading the company for 24 years, he joined the young founders of Airbnb to help transform their start-up into the worldwide phenomenon it is today. The New York Times best-selling author found inspiration in that experience for his most recent book, Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder.

General session: Aging well: The great disruptor

Saturday, October 12
1:15 p.m.–2:20 p.m..


Presenter:
Colin Milner

Inspired by the possibilities of living well at any age, efforts to redefine “old” are creating a new normal for an aging population. This evolutionary process embraces the potential of aging, supporting the need for new knowledge so aging adults can make more informed decisions and promoting socially connected lifestyles so individuals can engage fully in this new life stage of active adulthood. The immense opportunity is driving new innovations that will transform lives, industries and, yes, your organization. Innovations such as using longevity algorithms; conveying how to earn health span, delivering person-centered experiences; being relevant to solo aging; creating transcendent-designed programs, communities and facilities; preparing for bionics—humans enhanced by Artificial Intelligence who want to die well when the time comes. These are just some of the topics to be covered during this perception-challenging, thought-provoking session.

You’ll be able to:

  • Describe how a new normal in aging is impacting wellness.
  • Discuss how new wellness trends are set to change the face of aging well.
  • Prepare your organization to respond to this great disruptor.

Faculty: Colin Milner, Founder and CEO, International Council on Active Aging.
