ICAW - International Conference on Aging Well
"Embracing the Golden Years : Management Perspectives for Healthy, Inclusive, and Sustainable Aging"
June 19th & 20th 2026
As global populations age, the meaning of growing older is being redefined. Today’s older adults are living longer, remaining active, and contributing meaningfully to families, workplaces, and communities. These shifts call for innovative management perspectives that promote dignity, inclusion, and well-being in later life. ICAW 2026 views aging not merely as a biological stage, but as a multidimensional management challenge shaped by policy, organizational practices, technology, and socio-economic systems. The conference invites interdisciplinary dialogue on inclusive HR frameworks, responsive healthcare models, ethical marketing, financial resilience, and age-friendly design and governance. By reframing aging as a phase of capability, contribution, and continued growth, ICAW 2026 seeks to inspire sustainable and equitable solutions that enhance quality of life for older adults.
