Century Summit: Longevity, Learning, and the Future of Work

Now in its sixth year, the Stanford Center on Longevity’s Century Summit is a principal convening point for leaders and experts to explore the implications of longevity and to investigate how we can better support healthier, more productive, and more equitable lives. This year’s event will focus on rethinking how we develop and support talent across extended careers in an era of longer lives.

The summit includes three speakers from the Stanford Accelerator for Learning:

• Candace Thille — Faculty Director, Adult & Workforce Learning Initiative
• Isabelle Hau — Executive Director
• Jodi Anderson, Jr — Project Management Specialist, Learning Design Challenge

Over the course of two days, the summit will explore critical questions:

• How do we ensure that opportunity is not limited by age?

• How can education and training adapt to careers that span several decades?

• What role will employers, governments, and communities play in shaping systems that are both equitable and sustainable?

• How can we design a society that prizes purpose, productivity, and connection across the entire lifespan?

Register for the virtual summit to join us for two days of thoughtful investigation.
