Guests can enjoy interactive activities like pickleball challenges, line dancing, field sports, fitness sessions, and food trucks.

What they’re saying

“Aging in place is no longer a niche idea—it's a growing movement. We're bringing together an incredible group of local businesses and experts to help families understand what's possible. Our goal is to create an event that's not only informative, but genuinely exciting—where people can learn, connect, and have a great time together.”

“The reality is, we are all aging in place—no matter our age. I believe the later chapters of life should be just as well lived as the earlier ones. Many grown children are already navigating caregiving for their parents, or at the very least are thinking about their safety and future. This event provides families with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to plan ahead—together.”
