The Future of AgeTech Is Coming to CES 2026

By Elise Downes posted 7 hours ago

  

The AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP is heading back to Las Vegas for CES 2026, and we hope you’ll join us to experience what’s next in AgeTech innovation—up close, hands-on, and with the people turning big ideas into real-world impact.

From Jan. 6–9, we’ll be on the exhibit floor and beyond, highlighting how aging can be bold and expansive when technology is built to support independence, creativity and connection at every stage of life. We’re bringing that vision to life through immersive booth experiences and live demos, daily sessions on our stage, and marquee moments that extend beyond the exhibit hall.

So what exactly can you expect to see? Let’s start with what’s happening inside our space at Booth #54123 in Venetian Expo Halls A–D.

Step Inside the Future

In The Future of AgeTech: Aging Without Limits, we invite attendees to step into an immersive media experience designed to disrupt the old storyline about aging and replace it with something more expansive.

Inside, you’ll see aging portrayed as adventurous, ambitious, and still in motion. Think scaling cliffs, launching startups, mentoring minds, and exploring the world through immersive tech. It’s an invitation to see what aging can look like when possibility stays front and center.

AgeTech On Display

From imagining what’s next, we move to what’s here now. With more than two dozen solutions represented in the booth, there’s a lot of AgeTech to see in action.

In our Startup Showcase, you’ll find a curated mix of companies spanning wellness and prevention, care support, diagnostics, and robotics, with live demos that make the use cases immediately clear. That includes solutions like hospital support robots that handle routine errands to help teams stay focused on patient care, contactless sensing that can detect falls and track movement patterns at home, and wearable neurotechnology designed to support better sleep. You’ll also see startups focused on turning everyday data into useful health insights at home, helping people spot changes sooner and share clearer information with care teams.

New this year, we’re also bringing enterprise activations into the mix through AgeTech in the Home, where AgeTech innovation is shown in everyday context. You’ll see contributions from trusted brands including Samsung Health, General Mills, TOTO, Samuelson Furniture, and EssilorLuxottica, alongside the broader startup lineup, offering a real-time look at how both emerging companies and established brands are approaching the future of aging.
 

Live From Our Stage

Our booth stage will host a steady lineup of sessions designed to add context to what you’re seeing across the show floor. Expect a mix of big-picture perspective and on-the-ground insight, with conversations touching on everything from care delivery and health equity to fraud prevention, cognitive care, women’s health, and whole-person wellness.

Sessions run throughout each day of the show, so whenever you stop by, there’s likely something happening on stage. The lineup includes panels and fireside chats, startup pitch moments, and a featured Book Launch: The Unicorn Protocol—with a chance to meet the author and grab a signed copy. And for something a little lighter, we’re closing each day with Trivial Pursuit for Generations, a lively, all-ages trivia game with quick questions, brain teasers and plenty of friendly competition across generations.

Two Moments Beyond the Booth

If you’re looking for a different pace from the show floor, there are two additional AgeTech gatherings worth noting.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7 (9 a.m. to noon PT), we’re hosting the AgeTech Summit as part of the CES Conference track at the Venetian (Level 4, Marcello 4404). The Summit brings together leaders across the longevity ecosystem to explore how innovation is reshaping the experience of aging, with an emphasis on designing with intention, strengthening the ecosystems that help startups grow, and building technology that supports belonging and connection.

Later that evening, we’ll shift into AgeTech After Dark—an after-hours gathering that pairs a startup pitch competition with time to connect with the broader community. It’s a chance to celebrate the innovation on display and spend time with the people behind it. ATC ecosystem participants can log in for full reception details.
