STATS FROM LIDT 2014
Lifelong Tech
It’s a new market with new opportunities. Our life
expectancy is longer than any previous generation. We
know more about how to keep healthy through diet,
exercise and preventative medical care than ever. Hear
from the new generation of adults who have turned the
conversation about “retirement” which literally means
backing off, to one of thriving and engaging. It’s a new
mindset and a new highly lucrative marketplace.
One of the main catalysts for this revitalization is technology. Brain training, genomic predictions, smart home
control, telepresence, gesture and haptic technology,
universal design, social networking, contextually aware
devices, video conferencing with the grandkids, or driving a semi-autonomous car, this generation of adults are
taking full advantage of the digital age. And the smart
entrepreneur will be right there alongside this affluent,
engaged market delivering them the services, products
and software they need. Join us as we explore the best
market that’s never existed before.

communications to homework, from cooking to
entertainment, tech has become the sidekick to today’s
busy families. This year the Internet of Things where
we’re connected to everything from our thermostats to
our door locks is taking center stage along with mobile
devices, wearables, health and beauty, and Dad’s
coolest tools.

TransformingEDU
Technology is disrupting education as we know it, with
the web as a repository for our cumulative information
and misinformation. Prompted by a transition in job
skills required for the 21st century, the ability to
personalize education and the rising costs of education,
we are at a juncture unlike any other. We’ll explore
the dynamic environment that is dependent on mobile
technology, entrepreneurial educators, massively
open online courses and cloud-based tools. The rise in
entrepreneurial ideas to create a 21st century campus
involves everything from using augmented reality and
3-D printing to mobile devices, digital text and universal
affordable online education. We’ll explore virtual
simulations, course management and creation systems,
mobile field work, enhanced whiteboard experiences,
social networking, entrepreneurial courses and digital
portfolios. Get an inside look at the latest high-tech
education companies, hear from the top thought leaders
in education and find out how your company can join this
lucrative evolution of learning.
