About Us

  • What’s Next Boomer Business Summit is an annual event that brings together the country’s top businesses and organizations that are focused on the boomer marketplace.

     

    The focus of the annual event is to foster a cutting-edge community to explore and share products and services that will serve the needs, wants and desires of the 50+ market. It is where the country’s leading Baby Boomer strategists gather to introduce new research, products and services that truly represent what is next on the horizon for businesses selling to Baby Boomer and senior customers today. Attendees seeking to attract Baby Boomer customers will learn new go-to-market strategies and tactics, access new research, understand ways to reach caregivers (an $800 million marketplace), and learn methods to creating online Baby Boomer communities.
