As baby boomers grow older and attempt to age in place, consumer preferences, behaviors, and expectations are expected to look quite different than they do for today’s oldest generations. This shift will require both commerce industries and service providers re-evaluate their strategies and best practices.

Pre-registration for the event is required, and more details are available on the conference website.
