From September 4 to 7, 2008,
the International Federation on Ageing (IFA) in partnership with Ageing Design
Montréal (ADM) will be holding the IFA’s 9th Global Conference
on Ageing and Expo Ageing & Design at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal,
Canada. This landmark conference and an exposition will be made up of the ninth
instalment of IFA’s Global Conference on Ageing series, ‘Defining
Health, Participation and Security through an Enabling Environment’, with
the international debut of Expo Ageing and Design, linking the relevance and
impact that design has in influencing the quality of life of older citizens
world wide.
The conference will feature
an interactive programme with plenary panel sessions, specialist highlight sessions,
workshops, high-level international meetings, along with an array of networking
opportunities. The Exposition component will host exhibitors showcasing the
latest innovations in products, technologies, ageing and design that can support
people as they age. The event is focused on bringing together key stakeholders
in the fields of ageing and design in an environment that provides cross-discipline
dialogue and fosters partnerships for the future.
Together with ADM, the IFA
is committed to changing attitudes and pioneering ways of improving the quality
of life of older people in all parts of the world; and creating environments
that enable and empower them to participate in their communities. The events
of 2008 will play a major role in advancing this goal.
