Living in Digital Times Announces Debut of ‘Lifelong Tech’
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2014 -- People over age 50 are now the largest demographic in the country – more than 78 million strong. Accordingly, they are also buying technology with increasing zeal. The over-fifty market is at the forefront of smartphone and tablet purchases and show increasing interest in everything from smart home automation to large screen entertainment.
To harness these seemingly endless opportunities, Digital Health Summer Summit held a pivotal session with innovative leaders AARP and Frog Design focusing on the 50+ market. At the session, Living in Digital Times announced that ‘Lifelong Tech,’ a new featured conference and Marketplace, will debut at the 2015 International CES®.
Previously known as Silvers Summit, with a focus on helping companies entering this pioneering market, Lifelong Tech will explore the high-tech life of the 50-plus population, from groundbreaking scientific longevity advancements to new techniques to stay in touch with family and friends, to monitoring homes while travelling, to creating memories, finance plans, and shopping. In addition to the conference, the Lifelong Tech Marketplace will showcase the products making the most difference in this multi-generational market.
“Using technology to keep vibrant, engaged and socially relevant are the themes that resurface again and again among this demographic whose demand is heightening as they become ever more tech-savvy,” said Jill Gilbert, Lifelong Tech producer. “Lifelong Tech will delve into how businesses can thrive by playing into their future tech adoption cycle.”
Those interested in attending to learn how to maximize an investment in this market should mark their calendars for January 9, 2015. To watch for future announcements about keynote speakers and agendas, join the Living in Digital Times mailing list at http://livingindigitaltimes.com.
