  Ironically, history’s greatest accomplishment – increasing longevity – could become civilization’s biggest challenge.

  In this visionary new presentation, Age Wave Founder and CEO Ken Dychtwald PhD draws on his 50 years of leadership in the aging and longevity fields to describe the five “grand challenges” needed to avert these potential tragedies and by so doing match our health spans and brain spans to our lifespans, safeguard financial security for all generations, eliminate ageism while activating a flourishing longevity marketplace, and provide a 21st-century purpose for modern elders.”

  Ken will also highlight decades of proprietary Age Wave research and insights to explore some of the most urgent questions facing businesses, governments, families, and individuals today, while offering a sweeping blueprint for the revolutionary changes that are needed in the coming years.
