AFELA Elder Concert 2018

The AFELA Elder Concert is a statewide multidisciplinary elder care conference.  In the 17 years since Elder Concert began its annual program, hundreds of elder care professionals have been able to meet and learn together. Because they come from different elder care disciplines, each attendee rounds out his or her contacts and education.  Elder Concert was born from the recognition that each elder care discipline has its own special instruments for bettering the lives of Florida’s elderly and it is getting these instruments to play well together that creates great results. 

Elder Concert brings together geriatric care managers, Elder Law attorneys, professional guardians, accountants, social service agencies, social workers, facility administrators, health care providers, government employees, financial advisors and other professionals important to the quality of life of Florida’s seniors. Elder Concert provides first-come, first-serve registration and limits registrations to allow for truly interactive learning and networking. There are no “talking heads,” but instead expertly facilitated and openly interactive sessions for dynamic and effective adult learning. In this way, each profession is learning from the other professions and meaningful relationships are solidified or formed.

The Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys (AFELA) is the founding organization of Elder Concert.  From the beginning, we allied with other leading elder care organizations such as the Elder Law Section of The Florida Bar, Florida State Guardianship Association, Alzheimer’s Community Care, Florida Geriatric Care Managers/Aging Life Care Association, Florida Department of Elder Affairs, and Florida Atlantic University.
