The Theme of On Aging 2026:
The Power of Belonging
Amplifying Voices, Advancing Justice, Accelerating Connection
Longevity is a universal right, and growing older is shaped by multiple social, cultural, and structural factors. For too many, these forces create barriers that limit connection, opportunity, and the support needed to thrive. On Aging 2026 will explore how the power of belonging can help remove these barriers and foster communities where every older adult is valued and supported.
On Aging 2026 will bring together leaders, advocates, and changemakers who are committed to ensuring that all of us have an opportunity to age and thrive in ways that reflect who we are and what we need.
