The International Society for Gerontechnology is seeking expressions of interest from organizations or consortia interested in hosting the 15th World Conference of Gerontechnology, ISG 2024. The conference moves regularly between the Americas, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region and typically attracts 300-400 participants. For the 2026 conference, we are accepting bids from all locations. We expect the conference will take place between May and July 2026.

Any organization can apply to host the conference, but the local organizing committee must have an interest and commitment to the field of gerontechnology whilst demonstrating the ability to host similar sized conferences.

The process consists of two stages. At the first stage, ISG solicits the statements of interest through an open call. The statement of interest should be submitted to the Secretary-General of ISG (secretary@gerontechnology.org) using the Application to Host form and should include: a description of the host organization and its connection with gerontechnology and a brief description of the venue and facilities that will be used to host the conference.
