I’ll be posting updates from two important 50+ conferences in Chicago next week:

• The What’s Next Boomer Business Summit
• The Joint Conference of the American Society on Aging and the National Council on Aging

At What’s Next, some of the promising sessions include a panel on how the media cover aging and Boomers, and in-depth tracks on health, personal finance and lifestyles. I’ll be moderating a panel discussion on 50+ entrepreneurship featuring entrepreneurial coach Jeff Williams and entrepreneur Amy Hilliard, founder and CEO of Chicago-based ComfortCake Company. Rounding out the group will be Mary Furlong, CEO of Mary Furlong & Associates. The conference agenda is here.

The ASA/NCOA event is overwhelming–over 900 presentations covering 50 different topical areas. I’m planning to cover sessions on housing, 50+ workers, community service and new consumer research on the Boomer market. I’ll also be presenting on entrepreneurship. Information on the event is here.
