This year’s keynote speaker is award-winning filmmaker Stu Maddux, who will present “Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Resilience in LGBTQ Older Adults.”

Loneliness and isolation are being called the other hidden epidemics during the COVID era. Maddux will discuss his very timely documentary, All The Lonely People, which shares first-hand accounts of LGBTQ adults who have been featured in the documentary and have triumphed over the challenges of feeling alone. In addition, Maddux will highlight social engagement strategies that have helped people around the world reach out and connect.
