Regional conferences on ageing
Every two years, the HelpAge Network hosts an Asia Pacific regional conference on ageing with a view of developing consensus and promoting collaboration on key themes that reflect the emerging issues in the region.
This event brings together leading academics, policy makers, researchers, experts from international organisations and members of civil societies working on population ageing and development from over 30 countries to discuss regional priorities and approaches to improving the lives of older people.
