On December 6th and 7th, 2023, a select group of global leaders convened in New York City for the fourth Silver Economy Forum, organized by the Global Coalition on Aging. Over two days at the Paley Center for Media and the United Nations Headquarters, thought leaders from across sectors and countries participated in a series of powerful live discussions, presentations, and fireside chats at the leading edge of policy, business, and program innovations for the rapidly expanding $17 trillion dollar Silver Economy. These conversations, around the SEF23 theme of Aging for All Ages, were broadcast live around the world.
