Longevity, Legacy and Innovation

This year, for the first time ever, there are more people in the US over 60 than under 18, a trend that is here to stay. What will that mean for society? How will it affect your life and work? While many see the problems of an aging society, Encore.org President and CEO Marc Freedman sees the opportunity to tap all that experience to create a better future for future generations. Marc is on a mission to transform one of the greatest gifts of the 20th century – longer lives – into one of the greatest forces for good in the 21st. Freedman will share his search for answers amid the obstacles created by age segregation and ageism, his discovery of the power of purpose in later life, and his quest for innovations that can bring the generations together.
