The Global Ageing Network is a unique forum for designers and aged care providers worldwide to share innovations in senior living design and programming. For this first time at the IAHSA International Conference, design firms were invited to submit one project each that represented their contribution to the field of senior living. Submissions were analyzed by a multinational, multidisciplinary team, with findings presented at the International Design for Ageing Symposium.

Firms submitting projects had an additional opportunity to display project design boards during the conference at IAHSA's International Design for Ageing Showcase, located in the Intercontinental Hotel.
