SAGE’s National Conference and Expo for LGBT Older Adults

This November 11-13th, SAGE will be hosting a historic conference in New York City for, by, and about LGBT older adults. Titled “The Future of Aging is in Our Hands: A National Conference and Expo for LGBT Older Adults,” the conference will bring together hundreds of LGBT older adults and aging practitioners from around the country to explore solutions that address the challenges that often shape our lives, and to celebrate “past, present, and future” of LGBT aging.

SAGE’s National Conference and Expo for LGBT Older Adults will be taking place at the CUNY Graduate Center on Fifth Avenue between 34th and 35th streets in Manhattan.

A detailed agenda will be available in August 2010, including information on registration costs, travel, lodging, and more. For regular updates, and for a downloadable flyer for outreach, please visit our website or email us at conference2010@sageusa.org.
