Approximately 10,000 people are turning 65 years old every day and housing is a major consideration, especially in Austin, where we have one of the fastest growing senior populations in the country. Many of these people are moving to Austin post-retirement while others have lived here for years but are now ready to downsize from the family home. Still others need home modifications and are interested in learning about ways to offset the rising cost of remaining in their current homes. Some want buildings that will accommodate intentional communities such as cohousing and shared housing. Most are curious about new technologies that enhance lifestyle, security and convenience.
The Austin Board of Realtors, AustinUp, AARP Texas, Capital City Village, Well Beyond Care, Technology Advisors Group, b8ta and Dochen Realtors have all partnered with Aging2.0 Austin to bring you this symposium and expo. It is a unique opportunity for professionals in real estate, housing, and technology to share and learn from older adults and senior advocates. Scroll down to see the entire program agenda and check out the bios on the speakers.
A separate exhibit area will be available from 1:00 to 4:00 for tabletop displays relating to innovative technology and other options that will enhance aging in place and community. There will also be a Pitch Event of the most innovative/interesting exhibitors. The Exhibit Hall does not require a registration and there is no charge for this afternoon session.
