[ Update - flight delayed and arrival will be after this session]
The focus of the Silvers Summit is the intersection of seniors, defined as those age "50+", and technology, but there's generally a lot of overlap with broader retirement themes. Seniors remains one of the fastest growing groups of technology adopters and recent innovations in computing and health care make it imperative that retirees and "soon to be retired" folks stay abreast of the latest developments that might make their life easier.
