The 2022 Academy launches on April 5, kicking off six weeks of 60-minute courses every Tuesday, where attendees will gain insights and knowledge about how to thrive in the longevity market.

Topics include:

  • How to Build Your Brand 
  • Best Practices in Working With Incubators 
  • Creating a Revenue Pipeline With Senior Housing Sales
  • Finding Product/Market Fit
  • Collaborating and Creating Partnerships
  • Accessing Government Programs and Support

Anyone working at the intersection of aging and business including:

  • Anyone seeking a career in the aging and longevity market
  • Students – from gerontology to business students wanting to stay on top of the latest trends, issues, challenges and solutions in the longevity market
