Survival of the Fittest

Come early to network with colleagues and discuss the ways you contribute to help keep your business in tip-top shape...

Turning Silver into Gold
How to Profit in the Baby Boomer and Senior Marketplace
October "Lunch and Learn" Event

Baby Boomers and Seniors make up over 25% of the population, own over 77% of the country's financial assets and have a greater discretionary income than any single group in America.  As the word "retirement" seems to be getting retired with this active and vital population, how can we go about reaching them with the proper message in the proper venue?  And how do we meet their interests and educate them on everything from technology and the Internet, dealing with loneliness, civic engagement and even safe sex?!

Stuart Rosenthal from The Beacon Newspapers, focused on people over 50, and Dr. Mary Furlong, author of "Turning Silver into Gold" (Available at Amazon.com) will discuss the topic of connecting with Boomers and Seniors and engaging them in ways you probably have not considered!  Did you know that this demographic buys more TOYS than all other groups combined?  Did you know that the fastest growing segment of social networking is people over 55?

Come early to network with colleagues and feel free to stay later and speak informally with Stuart and Mary after the event.

Thursday, October 21
11:45 am to 1:00 pm (doors open at 11:30)
Northampton Community College Southside Campus
Fowler Center - Bethlehem, PA
