SPEAKER AT OUR NEXT MEETING
Tech Trends, Innovations, Threats, and Dirty Little Secrets: Empowering Older Adults in the Digital Age
Luigi Calabrese, President of Frontier Networks Inc., is a seasoned leader in the tech industry.
With a focus on advocating for older adults, Luigi collaborates closely with law enforcement agencies in Canada and the USA, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the RCMP, and the Department of Homeland Security, to combat fraud and vendor abuse targeting seniors.
As a sought-after speaker, Luigi is renowned for his ability to demystify technology and engage audiences with humour and relevant examples. Luigi is a passionate advocate for older adults, tirelessly working to promote pricing fairness and advocate for reforms to protect older adults from exploitation and abuse.
In an era where technology is meant to simplify our lives but often complicates them, Luigi Calabrese discusses the latest trends in mobile devices, sensors, and wearables, focusing on enabling seniors to age comfortably at home.
He also addresses the pressing issues of data privacy threats, hacking, and navigating the complexities of new Artificial Intelligence (AI) schemes to ensure seniors stay safe and empowered digitally.
Get ready for a fun, adventured filled talk full of examples. You don't need to be technical (or tech savvy at all) to enjoy this discussion. PERSONAL VIGNETTE: Also in this meeting, Don Bark will be delivering his personal vignette.
LUNCH BUNCH: After the meeting, all members are invited to have lunch (at their own cost) at a local restaurant. A great way to get to know your fellow members.

ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING
Rosemary Off is from Hospice Waterloo Region, some notes about her presentation . . .
For the past three decades, Hospice Waterloo Region has been supporting people and their loved ones through life-limiting illness, death and bereavement through a number of community programs, and in the past three years has expanded support to include a 10-bed hospice residence.
However, most people really don’t know what hospice palliative care is and/or how we can support someone who is dying and their loved ones.
We explored what hospice palliative care is and what Hospice programs and services look like in the Region of Waterloo and surrounding townships.
