The Upside of Aging with Maddy Dychtwald, Ph.D.

Over the years, few have investigated the aging market with much depth or insight. Businesses and communities seemed well-aware of their regional demographics but tended to view their rapidly aging population as either a 'myth or burden.' Few recognize the Upside of Aging.

In fact, Boomers and their aging parents represent a vibrant, diverse, and energetic market. Serving and caring for this intergenerational group will be the central focus of our families, our communities, our state, and our nation for the next twenty-five years. Business and community leaders who want to stay 'ahead of the curve' are invited to sponsor, exhibit, and attend the upcoming Conference on Aging 2006 with special guest speaker, Dr. Maddy Dychtwald.

Join us for this premiere, business and professional, state-wide conference being held in northern Michigan. The 2006 Conference on Aging has a broad range of local, regional, and state support. Collaboration with Michigan's Chambers of Commerce, health care, higher education, senior residential, area agencies and service providers has been a top planning priority. Coordination with our civic and cultural communities, as well as local government and media, has also helped to lay a firm foundation for an exciting and successful event.

Leaders and professionals in the fields of Banking and Finance, Retirement Planning, Advertising, Marketing, Tourism and Travel, Health Care, Housing, Construction, Transportation, Rehabilitation and Wellness, Lifelong Learning, Real Estate, Insurance, Retail, Fitness and Nurtion are invited to attend and learn new ways to shape the future of business in Michigan.
