Some more details about our speaker and moderator:

Chip Conley is a New York Times bestselling author, whose seventh book “Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age” is about rebranding midlife to help people understand the upside of this often-misunderstood life stage. Earlier this year, Chip was featured on “Good Morning, America” and “The Today Show” to discuss his book, which rose to the #1 Happiness/Self-Help book on Amazon. Dedicated to reframing aging, Chip co-founded the Modern Elder Academy, the world’s first “midlife wisdom school.” Previously he held innovation-focused roles at Airbnb and Joie de Vivre Hospitality.

Chip will be joined in conversation by Mary O’Donnell. Mary is the President of RRF Foundation for Aging, a key funder for Ageless Innovators, and a national grantmaking organization based in Chicago that is devoted to improving the quality of life of older people.
