Global Innovations in Aging: SilverEco Ageing Well International Festival with Jérôme Pigniez, Founder and President of On-Medio and SilverEco.org

Last year, I had the privilege of joining as a Jury member, award presenter, and speaker. Meeting changemakers and those that reshaping aging care around the globe brings hope to our future, and we still have work to do! I left inspired by the global momentum to rethink how we support aging populations.

Every conversation, every connection, reminded me that “Care and love are universal.”

In this episode, I share a glimpse into our time last year and re-share my interview with the founder Jerome Pignuie. He shares about The SilverNight Awards and the SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival is an event that unites global leaders to celebrate and advance the cause of aging well. From Paris to Tokyo and now Cannes, this festival has grown to become a gathering for those dedicated to making a difference.

This international festival is a premier event that brings together experts, innovators, and passionate individuals from around the world, dedicated to improving the lives of older adults.
