Presented by the Center for Aging in the Digital World, this free day out for seniors will feature exhibits focused on services for older adults, a special workshop by co-founder of the Center for Aging in the Digital World Tak Sato, and an interactive panel discussion on artificial intelligence (AI).

This’s year’s Digital World Senior Expo is packed with exhibitors and presentations. There will be people on-hand from a variety of organizations and businesses who are delighted to talk with seniors about their needs and how they can assist in making their lives more enjoyable.

The expo opens at 9:30 am, followed by conference presentations beginning at 10:15 am with an interactive digital literacy workshop led by Sato who will teach participants how to use their smartphone to access QR codes for information and services. After the 11 am refreshment break, the final session will begin at 12:30 pm with an engaging panel discussion on artificial intelligence (AI).

Those attending will also enjoy visiting with volunteer ambassadors and high school students from the Center’s Intergenerational Project, “Teens & Seniors Power Up”. This new program paired graduates from the Center’s free Discover Digital Literacy! program with students from the SITES service-learning program of North Olmsted High School. They will share stories of how they are enjoying technology in their daily lives, plus they will showcase their exhibits on topics like ChatGPT, MyChart, smartwatches, streaming, Zoom, maps, and more.
