About On Aging 2026
On Aging is the nation’s largest multidisciplinary conference on aging, bringing together professionals across social work, health care, community services, policy, legal advocacy, research, the tech sector, and more. Each year, social workers attend On Aging to strengthen their practice, expand their networks, and engage with the systems shaping how people age.
On Aging 2026 is grounded in the theme The Power of Belonging, exploring how belonging can help remove barriers and foster communities where every older adult is valued and supported.
On Aging 2026 will take place April 20–23, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
