41ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE & TRADESHOW

n4a 41st Annual Conference & Tradeshow | San Diego

Dear Colleagues,

These are exciting and transformational times

for the Aging Network. You are expanding the

services you provide, reaching new populations

and attracting interest from key players in the

long-term and health care delivery marketplaces

like never before. To maintain your competitive advantage, you need access to the leaders and visionaries who are forging the future of the Network, which is why the National Association

of Area Agencies on Aging Annual Conference is

THE must-attend event every year.

We broke attendance records in Philly last

year, and expect to do so again, so mark your calendars for the n4a 41st Annual Conference & Tradeshow being held July 24-28 in sunny San Diego! This brochure offers a glimpse of

the innovation and expertise being showcased

this year, with all of the action set against the

beautiful backdrop

of San Diego Bay.


Aging Network leaders from across the United

States will discuss the latest trends and issues

and share insights about what’s working on the

ground during highly-interactive workshops and

presentations. Whether you lead your agency

or serve in a key program role, you will leave the Conference feeling reinvigorated, knowing that you have the tools to take your agency to a new level of excellence and achievement.

So let’s learn, engage and grow together— see you in San Diego!

General Sessions Developing Successful New Business Models

Care transitions. Duals demonstrations.

Managed care. Private pay. AAAs are developing

pioneering business models to participate

in innovative ways and with new partners to

provide long-term services and supports to

an expanding population base. Find out how

standalone nonprofit AAAs, as well as those

that are based in county governments and

Councils of Governments, are successfully

launching new business models that

address these new opportunities.

Forging New Partnerships in Health CareAs the health care community begins to

recognize the critical role that community

services plays in achieving population health,

the Aging Network has the opportunity to forge

new partnerships with physicians, hospitals,

Accountable Care Organizations and insurers.

Find out about strategies to not only partner

with health care entities, but to get paid for the

services you provide.


Seizing New Opportunities to Create Livable, Age-Friendly, Dementia-Friendly Communities2016 is the year the first baby boomers turn

70, building momentum for communities to

consider policies and actions to help older adults

live successfully in the community. Hear about

how cities and counties are working with the

Aging Network to create real and needed change

that will create livable communities for all ages.

Leading Significant ChangeLeading all of this change is not easy! That’s why

one general session will be devoted to learning

effective strategies to help you and your agency

manage the changes that will be driving the

Aging Network into the future.
