Join GSA in Seattle for the Nation’s Premier Aging Conference!

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) invites all journalists to attend its 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting — the country’s largest interdisciplinary conference in the field of aging — from November 13 to 16 in Seattle, Washington. Qualified media representatives intending to cover the meeting may register free of charge.

More than 4,000 professionals are expected to attend the four-day gathering at the Seattle Convention Center. The theme for 2024 is “The Fortitude Factor,” and the program schedule contains nearly 600 scientific sessions featuring experts sharing research that has never been presented before. Noteworthy meeting highlights include:

• A wealth of story ideas: GSA offers direct access to leading authorities and new discoveries in gerontology. Explore the latest developments related to innovative technologies, Social Security and retirement, long-term care, human longevity, and much more. The meeting website offers a searchable program.
• Keynote address: National Institute on Aging Director Richard Hodes, MD, will deliver the keynote address in the President’s Opening Plenary Session on Wednesday, November 13. Hodes has devoted his tenure to the development of a strong, diverse, and balanced research program. This has led to new and innovative ways to conduct research, share data, and translate findings into practice.
• Networking opportunities: The Press Room, which serves as a base of operations for reporters, provides a venue for discussion about emerging issues on the aging beat. There will be a reception for reporters the evening of Friday, November 15.

The complimentary media registration allows access to all scientific sessions and the Exhibit Hall.

We look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
