Aging Means Business: Design for a New Age $110—Attendees of GSA’s 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting: “Lifestyle->Lifespan”
$90—Students (must show valid student ID) On-site registration will be available.
As the first of 77 million baby boomers reach their “encore” years, leading-edge companies are rethinking aging and redesigning products, services, and environments to meet their changing needs and desires. This one-day conference will explore how strong design can successfully launch products and services and set best practices. Combining expert presentations and audience brainstorming, this event will highlight the importance of aesthetics, consumer convenience, and company goals by presenting examples of innovative design in the area of products (commercial, medical, financial), services (healthcare, financial, travel) and environments (work, retail, living).
This forum will feature a joint keynote address by Matthias Hollwich, SBA, and Hunter Tura, M. Arch. Hollwich is a principal of the New York-based architecture and concept design firm Hollwich Kushner, which is currently involved in the project BOOM!, a retirement community in Rancho Mirage, CA, geared toward LGBT elders. Tura is the president and CEO of Bruce Mau Design, a firm that applies design methodologies to a wide range of business and cultural organizations with challenges in need of creative solutions.
The 2011 forum will host the award presentation for the Student Design Contest, led by Victor Regnier, FAIA, which challenges undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their design ingenuity by proposing an original product for adults age 50+.
Sponsored by MetLife Mature Market Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) AgeLab, and Microsoft. Student Design Contest sponsored by Eskaton.
