AAG National Conference 2018 @ Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Wharf
Nov 21 – Nov 23 all-day

AAG’s flagship event for practitioners, professionals and stakeholders in gerontology is only few weeks ahead. Do not miss the chance and join us in Melbourne on the 21st to 23rd November for the 2018 AAG Conference.

The theme for this conference is “Advancing not retiring: Active players, a fair future”. This theme builds on previous recent AAG conference presentations where the importance of both enabling and appreciating the contributions that older people make to their families, communities and society was acknowledged. The conference theme also acknowledges that opportunities for advancement are not evenly spread across the community. Older people who are poor, homeless, speak a language other than English, are LGBTI or from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds are less likely to be able to advance in older age than those who have more advantages.

The AAG Conference is the place to hear about cutting edge research from leading national and international experts in the area of ageing. The high-quality program will include over 250 presentations and discussions led by International and Australian speakers.
Be inspired: Hear from leading International and Australian experts and stakeholders.

AgeingFit
Jan 29 – Jan 30 all-day

AgeingFit is the first european business convention dedicated to innovation in the healthy ageing sector.

AgeingFit is the European event dedicated to business partnerships and innovation in the healthy ageing sector. It brings together 600 actors from more than 20 countries, who contribute to identify tomorrow’s market needs and promote today’s innovative products and services for the Senior Market.

Silver Health covers the fields of prevention allowing seniors to be autonomous and in « good health » as long as possible, and also the care of old and sick people staying in hospitals or geriatric homes.

Silver Economy

Covering the needs and demands of seniors over 50, the Silver Economy covers many products and services using very different technologies, including home automation, sensors and connected objects.

The sector deals with the heterogeneous and difference of consumption between active retirees and dependent older people, and evolves within a complex financing ecosystem that does not facilitate a clear definition of the sector stakeholders relationships.

In this context, how can we predict that the Silver Economy will become a fully-fledged sector of activity where companies currently involved, would feel included, despite the diversity of their activities? What are the current and future initiatives to be taken in order to make the Silver Economy a clearly established economic and industrial sector?

Key reasons to attend

Because innovating alone has become a real challenge for any organization, regardless of its size or status, engaging in partnerships becomes inevitable to succeed.

Ageingfit offers a constructive framework to meet the needs of all players in regards to innovation in silver economy and health. During the last edition, all stakeholders’ profiles (industrials, retirement and nursing homes, associations, health insurance providers, investors, etc.) registered on the partnering platform to exchange and innovate together.

Ageingfit represents a unique opportunity to develop research and business collaborations, and to promote the innovation to foreign ecosystems, in order to facilitate partnerships in this new and promising sector.

AGEINFIT AT A GLANCE

To best meet the demands of the sector, AgeingFit combines 4 activities:

One-to-one meetings: Meet your future business or innovation partners during one-to-one meetings

Innovation pitches: Discover the services, products and technologies of tomorrow in Silver Economy and Health

Exhibition: Be involved and play an active role in the sector

Conferences and roundtable discussions: Find out about the latest trends and issues of the sector

3rd Interventions in Aging Conference
Mar 3 – Mar 6 all-day

A plethora of genetic, dietary and pharmacological interventions can extend healthy lifespan in laboratory animals, and can delay or ameliorate diverse aging-related diseases. Many of the signalling pathways involved are evolutionarily conserved, and are starting to be implicated in human aging. This raises the intriguing possibility of performing preventative medicine against the chronic diseases of our time by targeting the main risk factor for all of them, namely aging. Two important current challenges in the field are (1) to understand the downstream pathways by which longevity interventions combat age-related loss of function and pathology, and (2) to translate the findings into the extension of human healthspan.

This third meeting will continue to explore these topics, with particular emphasis on the systemic environment, mitochondria, biomarkers and frailty, immune aging and the protective effects of natural products.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify and understand translational approaches to extend human healthspan
  • Understand emergent areas of research in aging
  • Obtain an advanced view on the molecular biology and genetics of aging
  • Understand for profit approaches to mitigate human aging

Target Audience

  • Basic scientists in the field of aging research using animal models.
  • Human researchers interested in biomarkers of aging
  • Clinical trials specialists in aging and associated diseases.
  • Scientists and other professionals developing aging interventions.
  • Investors looking to enter this new space
  • Educated public

Educational Need

The aging field encompasses a wide range of biology, involving many model organisms and, with respect to mammals, the involvement of many tissues. In addition, translational strategies to modify the rate of aging range from lifestyle change to drugs and, more recently stem cell-based therapeutics. As such, there is an abiding need to bring together scientists across diverse fields with the purpose of providing a clear overview of the state of basic research in aging and the development of translational strategies. The goal is to create cross-fertilization between scientists in different areas, accelerating the development of interventions that extend human healthspan.
