AGEIST, a media company that is changing how we envision, understand and live life after 50, hosts its first live experience, YBL (Your Best Life) in Los Angeles on June 11, 2019.

Los Angeles, CA, May 13, 2019 --(PR.com)-- AGEIST (weareageist.com), a media company and agency that is changing how we envision, understand and live life after 50, will host its inaugural live experience, YBL (Your Best Life) in Los Angeles on June 11, 2019. An impressive lineup of keynote speakers and panelists representing start-ups, iconic brands and business leaders, and forward-thinking consumers will gather in an intimate setting for thought-provoking discussions and networking sessions to explore the significant economic and social impact of Generation 5.0.
Today’s over-50 is carving a very different path from previous generations and is essentially redefining how life after 50 is lived and experienced. Brands, companies and organizations need to understand what is driving this cohort. YBL, a first-of-it’s-kind symposium (https://www.weareageist.com/ybl/) will examine the how and why of these monumental changes - backed-up by proprietary new market intelligence - and what it means for both consumers and brands.
“There’s a real poverty of imagination when it comes to this intensely influential group,” commented AGEIST founder David Stewart. “Let's stop with the idea that cool stops at some age. We are at the peak of our capabilities. We are bold, vital, empowered and living our best lives now."
YBL attendees will gain extensive insight, from distinguished experts (list below), into what FastCompany called “the most significant demographic shift in recent history.”
YBL is the brainchild of AGEIST founder David Stewart and John Loken, founder of The Experience Factory.
