Discover, connect, and thrive at the Older Bolder EXPO

Get ready, Carlsbad! The 4th Annual Older & Bolder EXPO is back and bigger than ever. This premier event is designed for seniors, caregivers, and families looking for resources, guidance, and inspiration on living their very best life after retirement.

This year’s EXPO will feature 30 vendor booths, engaging workshops, raffle prizes, and more. Attendees will discover the latest information on products and services that help make the most of life at any age. Expert speakers will cover everything from financial planning and navigating Medicare to home safety, lifelong learning, and health and wellness tips. With dozens of exhibitors, you’ll walk away with essential tools and connections to age successfully and boldly.

“Most often we do not plan for what is being coined by gerontologists as the ‘third age,’” says Alesia Clark, founder of Engage Life Care. “Beyond financial retirement plans, we must plan for all facets of our well-being for an extraordinary tomorrow.”

The EXPO is not just about planning for yourself—it’s also about supporting loved ones. According to the National Council on Aging, around 40 million Americans provide unpaid care to older adults or adults with disabilities, often while managing work and family responsibilities. The EXPO will provide helpful resources and community connections for caregivers navigating these challenges.

As Bret Schanzenbach, President & CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber, shares: “People are living longer, and many are working well into their seventies and even eighties. We want this event to provide valuable information that improves the quality of life for everyone, regardless of age.”

The Older & Bolder EXPO is open to health-related companies, nonprofits, senior service providers, and more—and space is still available for additional booths! Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting community event.
