Register for the summit

Given the importance of elevating innovative approaches to help older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers stay engaged and connected, Commit to Connect and engAGED: The National Resource Center for Engaging Older Adults are again joining forces to co-host the National Summit to Increase Social Connections.

This virtual summit will bring together national, state, and local leaders - including United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy - working across sectors to address social isolation and loneliness. The summit will spotlight creative technology solutions and innovative programs that you can adapt to the needs of people in your community, along with tools and resources that can help you leverage technology to foster social connection.

The summit is a free event, but you must register to participate! Visit the event page for more information and the full agenda.

This event will include CART closed captioning and ASL interpretation. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

Commit to Connect is a cross-sector initiative, established by ACL in partnership with the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and coordinated by USAging, to reach people who are socially isolated. The aim of the collaboration is to connect people living with isolation with programs and resources to build the social connections they need to thrive.

Funded by ACL and administered by USAging, engAGED aims to expand and enhance the aging network's capacity by identifying and disseminating resources and strategies that increase social engagement for older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers.
