2025 Maryland Aging Innovations Summit: The Economics of Aging
Maryland Philanthropy Network’s 2025 Aging Innovations Summit provides an opportunity to network with peers, celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Older Americans Act, and express appreciation for the dedication and commitment to those working in the field of aging.
This year's theme,The Economics of Aging, will delve into the immeasurable value older adults give daily as employees, volunteers, consumers, and leaders. The agenda will include the Maryland Department of Aging's Secretary Carmel Roques, and Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman. They will focus on the challenges and opportunities of the Longevity Economy and the need for a multisector approach to make Maryland longevity-ready. Additionally, Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen will share his efforts and advocacy priorities for older adults’ policies at the City and State level.
We are pleased to have Peter Abadir, MD, Associate Professor of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with a joint appointment in the School of Engineering, as our distinguished keynote speaker. Dr. Abadir’s research interests include the development of new technologies that will improve the health and well-being of older adults. He has been recognized by the Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine with the W. Leigh Thompson Excellence in Research Award, is the co-director of the new Gerotech Incubator Program, and is the co-principal investigator of the Johns Hopkins Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory.
We’ll finish with an uplifting creative arts performance by Encore Creativity for Older Adults’ Chorale (Joshua Vickery, Chief Executive Officer), uniting our voices in celebrating the 60th year of the Older Americans Act signing and the often-unreported contributions from older adults!
Continental Breakfast and Lunch will be served.
