Encore Summit 2018
In November, 250 leaders from the US and several other countries gathered in Los Angeles to explore a set of key questions about making the most of longer lives.
- How will we use this time to create a new vision of the future that works for all generations?
- What opportunities can we seize together, and what barriers are in our way?
- How can we accelerate change to transform longer lives into a force for good?
Participants also helped launch Marc Freedman’s newest book, How to Live Forever, and attended the Gen2Gen Encore Prize finals.
