International Conference on
'Aged Care and Ageing: Global Challenges and Responses'
1-3 August 2018, AGSM Building and John Niland Scientia Building, UNSW Sydney
Long-term care is one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world, especially in Asia where the number of people aged 80 and above will quadruple to more than 250 million by 2050.
This conference brings together academics, policymakers and industry leaders to explore new directions in long-term care, focusing on the coordination between policy initiatives and industry and investment imperatives.
This is the fourth conference in a triennial series which began in 2007 in Berlin. Since then, events have been held in Hong Kong and Atlanta, and the conference series has gained an enviable reputation as one of the world’s strongest in bringing together industry and policy leaders in the field.
The conference is designed to inform professionals about the latest developments in assistive technologies, aged care models for the future, the management of cognitive ageing and decline, falls prevention, long-term care insurance and investment, aged care workforce, and other topics germane to aged care facilities. The program comprises keynote presentations, panels, plenary sessions and concurrent contributed papers.
