Abstract Submission is now open. \nThe capacity and effectiveness of social and health services are being severely strained by the long-term trend of aging populations. Age-related increases in health and social service use are linked to greater rates of care transitions and significant use of acute inpatient treatment. The complex demands of the patient population\, which is getting older and more diverse\, are not being met by healthcare systems\, which leads to poor management\, a rise in unfavourable events\, and negative outcomes. Unsafe care has a disproportionately negative impact on older persons\, who have decreased function\, falls\, delirium\, infections from inappropriate interventions\, and readmissions. These effects have a serious impact on their quality of life\, well-being\, and fundamental human rights to maintain autonomy and dignity. \nThe benefits of attending the conference are: \n\nGet to know other people in your field\nHear about the latest research\nVisit a new place and have fun\nMeet your academic heroes\nEngage in high-level debates and refine your ideas\nAdding to your CV\nAvail of CME/CPD certification\nNetwork with your peers\nTo expand your knowledge and find solutions to problems\nMeet the best influencers\nGet new ideas and solutions\nGet certified or learn new skills\n\n  \nWhy L.A.?\nLos Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world\, offering many activities and attractions like movie studios\, the Sunset Strip\, Venice Beach\, landmark museums\, world-famous theme parks\, wineries\, breweries\, outdoor activities\, exciting nightlife\, and much more.
