Centralina Area Agency on Aging is proud to serve as a trusted resource for aging service providers across the greater Charlotte region and beyond. Through education, collaboration, and subject matter expertise, Centralina AAA helps professionals stay informed about emerging aging trends, key issues, and evidence-based practices. One signature opportunity to grow knowledge and strengthen connections is attending the Annual Aging Conference. This opportunity is open to aging service providers across the state.
This year’s Annual Aging Conference is a meaningful opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired. This one-day event educates, equips, and empowers attendees to make a positive difference in the lives of older adults and the communities that support them. This year’s conference, Connections That Count, will take place on October 16th, 2026, at the Harris Conference Center in Charlotte, NC. The plenary speaker will be Teepa Snow, an internationally recognized dementia care expert and founder of the GEMS States of Brain Change and Positive Approach training strategies. Her plenary session topic will be on The Power and Potential of Neurodiversity and it will focus on recognizing the many implicit biases surrounding neurodiversity, and important ways to help reduce stigma.
