LB CONFERENCE 2024

Building on the success of LB’s inaugural conference in 2022, we held our second conference on 24 May 2024. Our theme this year is Silver Horizon: Building Aspirations for Successful Ageing. Looking beyond the vulnerabilities of seniors, this theme explores how seniors may live their lives to the fullest through active and productive community involvement, such as volunteerism, micro jobs, lifelong learning, and community participation. At the heart of this theme is the belief that successful ageing is not just about health or longevity, but about empowering seniors to remain engaged, independent, and connected to their communities. We explore how seniors can be active participants in shaping their own futures, taking control of their aspirations, and pursuing personal growth at any stage of life.

Promoting knowledge exchange and evidence-based practice has become increasingly important in addressing the evolving needs of the ageing population.

To this end, we hope that the LB conference could provide a platform for eldercare practitioners to come together for joint learning and networking. 

The conference has attracted approximately 250 participants, including practitioners from eldercare, healthcare, community care, as well as public servants from government agencies.

We were honoured to welcome Mr. Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and the Ministry of Social and Family Development, as our Guest-of-Honour. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our guest speakers for their invaluable contributions to this year’s conference, providing insightful perspectives on key topics related to successful ageing.

It is crucial that we shift our perspective to recognize seniors as contributors to society, not merely as individuals facing vulnerabilities. As we continue to explore new opportunities for seniors to engage productively, we reaffirm our commitment to building a society that values and celebrates the contributions of its older members.
