A Message from Mary Furlong
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As our 15th Annual What's Next Boomer Business Summit
rapidly approaches, I am delighted to say that we have assembled an unparalleled group of thought leaders in the
longevity marketplace! The Longevity Economy is at a tipping point. Our speakers this year are the market makers - they are the ones who bring the heart, mind, and soul of older adults front and center in their work. The latest in voice enabled technology, home care, entrepreneurship, nutrition, wellness, and cannabis edibles can all be found next month at our 2018 Summit!
We look forward to welcoming this year's award winners and
Platinum and Gold sponsors to join us at the Golden Gate
Yacht Club.
Warmly,
Mary Furlong
