Eventful Week...literally.

October 11 - 18 was a fantastic whirlwind week of bi-coastal events and growing momentum behind Aging2.0’s mission to catalyze innovation in the aging space. We held 3 Aging2.0 events in 3 cities (Palo Alto, CA | Cambridge, MA | New York, NY), sent out our first Aging2.0 CoverAGE newsletter (to more than 1000 people), unveiled the new Aging2.0 logo and brand identity designed by the talented team at Infinia, participated in a “Longevity Lounge” thought leader breakfast hosted by our friends at Redstar Ventures, were quoted in a Bloomberg News piece about ageless design and had some great meetings with potential Aging2.0 partners / sponsors (stay tuned!). Most importantly, we got to see more than 200 of you in person in the past week – thank you for attending the events and being part of the community!

We started a new tradition at our last two events of asking attendees to introduce themselves by saying their name, organization and three “tags” about what they are interested in. We’ve found it to be a quick and effective way to get a sense of who else is in the room, which greases the wheels for optimal and enthusiastic networking during the breaks. The word clouds below capture the tags that attendees used to describe themselves in Boston (white) and New York (black) respectively. The larger the font, the more times that tag was used. As you can see, our attendees are dynamic group that brings fresh “2.0” perspectives to the aging space.

In keeping with our theme of 3 "tags", here are the key takeaways (in increments of 3) from our 3 recent events.

Aging2.0 | New York (10.18.2012) @ The Hallmark by Brookdale

Founder’s Tales

Alan Blaustein (CEO, CarePlanners) – “10 Lessons Learned” from a successful serial entrepreneur

It’s all about passion, culture, trust and integrity

Apps are noise…make sure you are solving a real problem.

"Conventional thinking is death"

Pitches:

ReServe (Matches professionals 55+ with rewarding part-time assignments at nonprofits & public institutions)

Create win-win solutions.

Tap into the large and growing natural resource – the wisdom of older adults.

FYI – we (Aging2.0) plan to facilitate similar matches between 50+ professionals and for-profit start-ups. Stay tuned!

Omhu

Design can change a category.

Mindset shift: Assistive devices from stigma to self expression

“Can a bedpan be a beautiful design object?”

Speak-n-Find & Nonnatech

It’s not about technology for technology’s sake – use tech to address a specific pain point and make sure it fits into the consumer’s life.

“Connected Independence” can decrease stress and provide piece of mind.

Think about intergenerational issues when defining the need you are addressing and when planning your go to market strategy.

Solutions – Who’s job is it to monitor the monitors? In order to make “Connected Independence” a reality, we need to move from disparate products to platforms (with APIs!) that can evolve as customers needs change. #Qmedic #Kinect? #AppleTV?

When I heard that we should write an essay I was terrified as I haven`t read the book and there were only a few days before the deadline. But, luckily, I found https://essayusa.com.

很多学习会计专业的同学在毕业后都会遇到各种各样的困扰，因为在学校阶段学习的都是理论知识，会计作业代写 https://lunwenzhushou.net/accounting-dai-xie/ 的专家们也都给同学们提供了很多帮助，而到了工作岗位上除了要掌握理论知识以外，还要做很多实践工作。接下来我们就来说一说，会计专业有哪些要注意的地方。
正如我们提到的，会计是一门注重实践的学科，因此在学校阶段同学们一定要多实践，在实践中才能真正检验自己的会计知识掌握情况，才能做到查漏补缺，提升自己的专业水平。此外，会计专业还要注意积累，在实际工作中不断积累经验，提升自己解决会计行业相关问题的能力。
