Melbourne to host international ageing conference in 2010

Melbourne has secured the right to host an international conference on ageing in 2010 – one of the largest international gatherings of world experts in the field.

It is expected to attract more than 2,000 delegates and will inject more than $8 million into the Australian economy.

The 10th International Federation on Ageing (IFA) Global Conference on Ageing will be held in Australia as a result of a successful bid by the Victorian Council on the Ageing (COTA).

Experts on ageing from around the world will converge on Melbourne in 2010 – probably in April – to discuss ageing populations and new ways to improve the quality of life of older people.

This conference will bring together government and non-government organisations, and people from around the globe to share ideas and best practices to improve support for older people.

This is the second time Australia will host the conference – with Western Australia successfully hosting the event in 2002.

This year’s international conference will be held in Montreal, Canada from 4 to 7 September.

Previous conferences have been held in Denmark, Israel and Singapore.
