Over the next 20 years, the population of Americans over age 65 is expected to double, and health care spending is projected to increase by 25%. With an aging society, it is crucial to understand the challenges and address the opportunities to target diseases of aging, such as cancer and type 2 diabetes, to allow people to live longer, healthier lives.

The Aging & Healthy Lifespan Conference will address these timely issues. Hear leading experts discuss emerging research into scientific and medical advances in aging, as well as lifestyle and demographic trends. This first-ever conference will feature two speaker tracks. One track will focus on new research and insights in the science of aging including updates on the exciting science behind sirtuins and resveratrol. The second track will feature emerging social trends in lifestyles, behaviors and activities of the aging population. Speakers include experts from Harvard, MIT, American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and Sirtris, a GSK company.
