Dear Colleagues,
Although there is a lot of uncertainty right now, we have been happy to see leaders in the longevity market stepping up to provide help! Last week Embodied Labs hosted a webinar entitled, "
Practicing Person-Centered Communication During COVID-19." The Outpatient team announced that it would offer its platform
for free until July 1st to help with social distancing and communication. Laurie Orlov has published a helpful
blog post about virtual offerings that HIMSS hosted after canceling their in-person gathering.
We have decided to take our Atlanta agenda of exceptional speakers and sponsors and add them to what will now be a bonus day and expanded conference to be called the
What's Next Longevity Business & Venture Summit on June 24-25 in Berkeley, California. Stay tuned for more details!
Our new
website design will allow you to easily access more digital resources, including webinars, and help you stay up-to-date on news in the longevity market.
Please take care of yourselves and one another in the weeks ahead. I am sharing this Irish Soda Bread recipe from my Aunt in the hopes that the smells of baking will bring you comfort.
Warmly,
|
