The 50th AAG Annual Conference saw more than 450 delegates at Crown Perth. This multidisciplinary event brought together researchers, educators, policy makers, health professionals and service providers, all with an interest in ageing. A golden opportunity is generally defined as a chance to do something that is likely to be successful and rewarding. Hence the conference theme, “Ageing: The Golden Opportunity" reflected not only the 50th anniversary of the AAG conference, it focused on the golden opportunity which the older population can create for themselves, the community and the economy. The jam-packed program brought together inspirational keynotes and over 200 speakers from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines who shared their experiences, research and knowledge.
