Since 1979, LiveOn NY has supported leaders on the front lines of aging with events that answer their questions and connect them with experts. This year, we're excited to continue that tradition with our leadership summit, titled Age Strong New York Leadership Summit: Shaping Policy. Building Power. Driving Change, on February 4, 2026.
Join hundreds of leaders from across New York’s aging, housing, and social service sectors for a day of dialogue, innovation, and impact. As the largest conference on aging in New York, LiveOn NY’s Age Strong NY 2026 Leadership Summit brings together policymakers, practitioners, and partners to shape the future of aging in New York.
We'll be convening leaders to discuss the affordability issues facing older New Yorkers today, and we'll learn and strategize together to ensure that we are all able to age in dignity.
Date: February 4, 2026
Location: Civic Hall, 124 East 14th Street, New York, NY 10003
