No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

GSA's 68th Annual Scientific Meeting brings together more than 4,000 of the brightest minds in the field of aging. This meeting is the premier gathering of gerontologists from both the United States and around the world. They participate in over 400 scientific sessions including symposia, paper, and poster presentations. The 2015 theme is “Aging as a Lifelong Process,” which highlights the fact that what gerontologists study is actually the cumulative outcome of lifelong events that culminate during old age. These effects, which can begin at the earliest stage of fetal development, encompass biology, social interactions, historical events, psychological experiences, and public policy. Importantly, the life-course effects on aging are best viewed through the interdisciplinary lens that is the signature feature of GSA.
TechSAge will be highlighted in the Technology Track day on Friday, November 12th.
Presentation: "Re-Conceptualizing the Impact of Aging on Disability: Implications for Technology Interventions" (Elena Gonzalez, Jon Sanford, Wendy Rogers & Tracy Mitzner), in the Technology and Aging (TAG) Interest Group Symposium.
Panel: "Desiging with Older Adults: What do Gerontologists Know That Others Don't?" (Wendy Rogers)
