We all get older (or at least we aim to), but what does that mean in terms of working and living? What does it mean in terms of taboo topics and societal expectations? Can we still contribute across all types of work environments? When does ageism begin? What does it mean for artists and authors? Do older people really have sex?!
Join us for a frank and honest discussion about ageing in today’s world, staying visible and being heard.
