‘Business of Aging’ March 23 Event in Washington

NEW YORK (March 11, 2016) – Sharon Emek, Ph.D., CIC, CEO and founder of Work At Home Vintage Experts (WAHVE), will speak at the 13th annual What’s Next Boomer Business Summit on March 23, 2016 in Washington, D.C.

WAHVE, formed in 2010, is an innovative talent solution that engages vintage professionals “phasing” into retirement who work from home on a contract basis for insurance retail brokers, wholesale brokers, managing general agents, and insurance carriers. Emek will serve as a panelist at the conference for the boomer and senior markets.

Emek will join the panel “Entrepreneurs on the Cusp of What’s Next,” a discussion among business visionaries who have created solutions in the boomer, senior and caregiving marketplaces. Other panelists are Jeff Zimman, chairman, Posit Science Corp., and Scott Collins, president and CEO, Link-age Connect. Having seen a pain point, found an idea, and solved a business or consumer need, these leaders will describe how to build a team, find an investment strategy and scale the business.

“Seizing the Opportunity of the Longevity Economy” is the theme of the 2016 summit, presented in partnership with Life Reimagined, a non-profit subsidiary of AARP. Experts like Emek will cover topics and trends relating to the longevity market for an audience of businesses and organizations focused on the baby boomer and senior markets.
