The 3rd Annual SilverSource Autumn Breakfast: Investment & Innovation In An Aging World will take place on Oct. 17 in Stamford.
“Innovators and investors alike are recognizing the socio-economic opportunities for products and applications benefitting retirees and the Baby Boomer generation,” said Kathleen Bordelon, executive director of SilverSource. “It’s incredibly exciting, because the advances in technology coming out of this period will redefine the way we live.”
There are roughly 76 million Baby Boomers living in the United States today, representing an estimated 25 percent of the U.S. population. “This event will help to change the conversation about aging into a conversation about longevity, where challenges become opportunities,” said Bordelon. “Most of us want to retire where we currently live and many of these innovations will help to make that possible.”
In addition to the panel discussion, winners of the 2017 SilverSource Awards will be honored for their contributions to bettering the lives of Fairfield County’s older residents.
Winners, Roni Lang of Greenwich, Jim Lisher of New Canaan, Elder House in Norwalk and Pat Knebel of the Southwest Connecticut Agency on Aging will be honored.
Information about the winners can be found at this Web page on the SilverSource website. Proceeds from the event will provide critical funds for older adults and elderly orphans in need of direct community support.
