This premier event offers an invaluable opportunity for thousands of professionals working in aging and related fields to connect, learn, and share expertise[1]. ## Building an Age-Inclusive Future On Aging 2025 aims to highlight ASA's mission of advocacy for older adults while showcasing thought leadership and innovation that propels accurate and age-inclusive conversations across all sectors[3]. The conference recognizes that ageism is pervasive, impacting everything from economics and healthcare to climate change, and seeks to demonstrate the collective impact that can be achieved when age-inclusion is embraced as essential for everyone[3]. The event will feature visionary leaders and experts addressing critical issues in aging through keynote sessions[4]. Given Orlando's diverse population, the conference will emphasize inclusive and progressive programming designed to serve everyone while encouraging advocacy for age-inclusivity and showcasing social action[3]. ## About the American Society on Aging Founded in 1954 as the Western Gerontological Society, ASA has evolved over 70 years into a diverse community of more than 5,000 professionals working with and on behalf of older adults[1]. The organization serves as the go-to source for learning, networking, and embracing opportunities in our aging society through an equity-focused lens[1]. ASA recently launched its Strategic Plan for 2024-2027, which focuses on three core pillars: strengthening the resiliency of the aging sector, ending ageism while promoting the possibilities of aging, and growing a robust, cross-sector association[5][2]. This plan arrives at a critical point in history when people aged 60 and older will soon outnumber children under 18 for the first time[5]. From American Society on Aging (ASA)
