Our world is in the midst of an unprecedented transformation. No one knows what is going to happen next, but for these five days we are here as a community to discuss, to learn, to resolve and to support each other as professionals who share a commitment to improve the lives of older adults and their families. As you will see in the pages of this book, programs throughout the Aging in America Conference will touch upon issues faced by all professionals in aging, from caregiving to aging policy. If you are concerned about what is going on at the national level in the U.S. there are several sessions that will interest you, including a new National Forum: A Message to the President, a highlighted session that takes an in-depth look at older voters, and our popular annual session, Panel of Pundits. See page 16 for a selection of policy programs. We have also brought back our Managed Care Academy for the second year. These sessions represent the changing realities of the healthcare and aging services markets and explore ways that community-based organizations can build their business acumen to successfully engage in partnerships with healthcare organizations. See page 18 for more information on this program. No matter which of the more than 500 sessions and events you choose to attend, we are confident you will walk away with new contacts and a renewed vision that will help you in your everyday work. We are here to make this the best experience possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, be sure to let us know. Best wishes for an educational and inspirational experience!
