Reflecting on Last Year’s Success

Our inaugural Age Better! event in 2024 was a huge success, drawing hundreds of attendees from across the Portland metro and SW Washington. Held at the Portland Expo Center, the event brought together a vibrant mix of vendors, wellness providers, speakers, and entertainers — all dedicated to empowering our aging community with resources and inspiration.

Guests enjoyed:

• Educational talks from local experts in aging, law, downsizing, and retirement planning
• Live music and engaging performances from beloved local musicians
• Wellness checks and free immunization clinics
• An energetic vendor fair filled with organizations passionate about supporting senior well-being
• Fun activities like photo booths, door prizes, and a grand giveaway trip to the Oregon Coast

The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive — attendees left feeling informed, inspired, and connected.

Looking Ahead to October 2025

We’re currently planning an even bigger and better Age Better! 2025, set for October 5th, 2025 in Portland. While vendor and speaker details are still being finalized, you can expect the same welcoming energy, insightful resources, and meaningful opportunities to explore what aging well can truly look like.

Whether you're preparing for retirement, caring for a loved one, or simply want to stay informed about the best local services for seniors, this event is for you.
