About the Conference

"Optimizing Resilience," funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and supported by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), will be held from Tuesday, March 3 - Wednesday, March 4 (arrival on Monday, March 2) at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, MD. The preliminary agenda can be viewed here.

The goal of the conference is to focus on how to optimize, maximize, and enhance resilience in older individuals. Some of the key focus areas will include defining outcomes to optimize resilience, identifying lowest hanging fruit, and the role of multimodal interventions. A major goal of this conference series is to define gaps and opportunities and to prioritize key questions for future research. We aim to assemble a diverse group of thought leaders and rising stars who bring unique perspectives and insights to the topic at hand.
