THE EDEN ALTERNATIVE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2026
Shaping the future of aging—together.
We provide an approach to care that supports the WHOLE person.
The Eden Alternative 2026 International Conference
Atlanta, Georgia | March 9-12
Meaningful change happens when diverse perspectives come together. At The Eden Alternative International Conference people of every role and experience gather to listen, learn, share, and co-create new approaches to aging and care.
We provide an approach to care that upholds the right to a life full of purpose, connection, empowerment and possibility…regardless of age or changing abilities.
Hear. Learn. Act.
We are grateful for the speakers this year at the conference — take a look at some of the speakers for general sessions.
