Technology and Aging Conference at Pitt

Tomorrow (Friday, 10/21), Pitt is hosting a conference on technology and aging -- a first of its kind, according to the organizers. There's a press release, and the Post-Gazette wrote up a nice preview. The conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Select in Oakland, near the Cathedral of Learning.

I'm speaking on the last panel of the day, which runs from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., in a discussion that the organizers have titled "The Impact and Ethics of Innovation for Older Adults." It should be an interesting day.
