I’ll be moderating a panel discussion on media and the 50+ market at next week’s Silicon Valley Boomer Venture Summit. My panelists include:

• Paul Kleyman, editor of the American Society on Aging’s Aging Today
• Kristen Gerencher health reporter for Marketwatch.com
• Sara Solovich, healthcare and biotech writer for the San Jose Business Journal
• Susan Ayers Walker, technology writer for AARP.org

We’ll be talking about how journalists select the stories they write about and trends in media covering the 50+ market and aging. The summit is produced annually by Mary Furlong and is highlighted by the $10,000 venture capital award for the best business plan targeting boomers. Venture capitalists will talk about overall investing trends in the 50+market, especially healthcare. Keynoter is Piper Jaffray & Co. senior internet analyst, who will talk about the “User Revolution trend and how the boomer generation is participating in it.”

The summit is a one-day event next Tuesday June 19th at Santa Clara University in San Jose. It’s not too late to register if you’re going to be in the neighborhood.
