STATS FROM LIDT 2014 Lifelong Tech It’s a new market with new opportunities. Our life expectancy is longer than any previous generation. We know more about how to keep healthy through diet, exercise and preventative medical care than ever. Hear from the new generation of adults who have turned the conversation about “retirement” which literally means backing off, to one of thriving and engaging. It’s a new mindset and a new highly lucrative marketplace. One of the main catalysts for this revitalization is technology. Brain training, genomic predictions, smart home control, telepresence, gesture and haptic technology, universal design, social networking, contextually aware devices, video conferencing with the grandkids, or driving a semi-autonomous car, this generation of adults are taking full advantage of the digital age. And the smart entrepreneur will be right there alongside this affluent, engaged market delivering them the services, products and software they need. Join us as we explore the best market that’s never existed before. Conference: January 6 Venetian, Level 2, Bellini 2006
