OGA's 2026 Virtual Annual Conference

"Justice in an Aging Society: People, Power, and Possibilities" 

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

This informative, cutting-edge conference brings together national and regional scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and business and community leaders to examine aging through a justice‑centered lens. Our engaging and thought-provoking sessions will explore the complex systems that affect older adults’ influence on and access to healthcare, legal protections, safety, and belonging—often at the intersection of immigration status, personal identity, the environment, and public policy. Grounded in research, lived experience, and community practice, this conference highlights practical strategies for advancing equity, strengthening protections, and supporting older adults to age with dignity, safety, and self‑determination.

Join us for the final four Friday mornings in October as we engage in thought-provoking discussions, share bold ideas, and explore practical solutions to shape the future of work in our aging world. Each session will feature multiple experts in the field of aging and include two hours of content. For questions or more information contact [email protected].
