APG Chesapeake will be rescheduling the Active Aging Expo slated for March 18th due to concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19). Our first priority is to ensure that our events are a safe environment for all. With reports from state and local health departments encouraging people over the age of 60 to limit their interactions, we recognize that this may limit the attendance, impacting sponsors, exhibitors and speakers. The new date is September 18, 2020. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Event is FREE to attend but pre-registration is recommended.

The Active Aging Expo has assembled the best companies and brightest individuals in one location so you can get answers and explore activities for a more healthy and active aging lifestyle. Enjoy fascinating lectures and workshops from experts on health, medicine, technology, and finance.
