On November 12 and 13, GeriJoy will present at the inaugural Louisville Innovation Summit, which brings together senior care leaders and innovators to improve the future of aging. GeriJoy is an MIT-affiliated company that provides virtual pet companions to improve quality of life for seniors and provide peace of mind for family members and caregivers.

The inaugural Louisville Innovation Summit will convene Tuesday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 13, in Louisville, KY, bringing together the nation's largest senior care providers, top innovators, and industry leaders to redefine the future of quality aging care.

GeriJoy is one of only six companies invited for an Innovator Spotlight and one of only ten exhibitors in the "Entrepreneur's Garage" exposition. Companies were chosen based on how they reflect the conference's core mission: celebrating real innovation in the aging-care space. The selections were made by a former senior editor from Wired.

GeriJoy's CEO Victor Wang will also be speaking on a panel titled "Enhancing the Resident Experience," which will be held at the Nucleus Innovation Park on Tuesday.
