During their closing remarks, the conference organisers expressed gratitude to the speakers and participants for two inspiring days. Many attendees shared that they felt inspired, discovered new ideas, made new contacts, and reconnected with old friends and colleagues. Many also said the topics discussed during the conference felt relevant.
One of the organisers, Anne Berit Rafoss, representing the Centre for an Age-friendly Norway, invited all participants to the upcoming third World Congress for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in San Sebastian, Spain, in June 2026.
– We are going to celebrate 15 years of the Global Network and look to the future. There will be a good mix of research, practice and policy, and we will invite people from all over the world.
