Older Persons in the Midst of an<br />
Extended Stalemate<br />
3:00 PM | Haymarket (West Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
Illinois experienced a monumental political standoff, which<br />
resulted in a state budget impasse lasting for the entire state<br />
fiscal year. Learn how the aging network in the state demonstrated<br />
remarkable resiliency, commitment and patience, and<br />
how they refused to die and fought to continue services.<br />

TH287 Mobile Technology and Aging: How<br />
Seniors Are Keeping Up and Connecting<br />
3:00 PM | Crystal A (West Tower, Green Level)<br />
Many stereotypes exist about seniors’ use of technology (or lack<br />
thereof). Our longitudinal research over the last five years shows<br />
how the aging population is effectively using technology to stay<br />
connected to issues, peers and family. Learn how using our PN<br />
Styles survey can help us identify trends and behaviors and<br />
make predictions about the future of seniors’ technology use.<br />
Presenters: Justin Greeves, Senior Vice President; Rosemay<br />
McGillan, Executive Vice President and Partner, Healthcare; both<br />
of Porter Novelli.<br />
