With the pandemic (hopefully) in our rearview mirror, there are more and more opportunities for seniors and other individuals to get back out in the community to participate in events and enjoy the wonderful world that life has to offer. Part of these opportunities includes various events catered towards seniors and older adults to improve varying aspects of their lives. The Quad Cities is no stranger to offering numerous opportunities for seniors and older adults to find resources to help them navigate health and life. Another upcoming example of this is the Quad Cities Senior Expo, helping older adults across the Quad Cities find the help they need for varying other assets of life. Let’s take a look at some of the details of the event.
The Quad Cities Senior Expo has numerous aspects that can be looked over to fully see what is being offered. Some of the aspects we will be taking a look at are:
- Logistics of the Event
- Vendors
- Keynote Speakers
Let’s take a closer look at these aspects below.
Logistics of the Event
The QC Senior Expo will be hosted at the TaxSlayer Center in Moline, Illinois. The address for the establishment is 1201 River Drive, Moline, IL 61265. The TaxSlayer Center was formally the Mark of the Quad Cities, and resided right on the Mississippi river in downtown Moline. The event will take place on Thursday, September 8th, from 10 a.m.-4p.m. When it comes to costs, one of the great aspects of the event is that it is completely free. The head organizers, Anika Honaker and Randy Augsburger wanted to make the opportunity free to attract as many older adults in the Quad Cities as possible. In addition to the free entry into the event, parking will also be free for individuals. It is advised to make sure to park in the large parking lots on the west side of the TaxSlayer Center to be able to take advantage of the free parking. The event is open to everyone in the community.
Vendors
Vendors will come from a large variety of backgrounds, including health and wellness, financial services, senior housing, entertainment, and many more. For a full list of all of the vendors, visit the QC Senior Expo Vendor website here. The neat part about the vendors is exactly how many different opportunities and business that are offered for the seniors in the Quad Cities. This isn’t simply a “wellness fair” or something similar. The organizers of the event have done a great job covering every facet of senior care and living, to provide the most extensive coverage of services for seniors in the area. In addition the vendors, there will also be giveaways throughout the day as well. If you are interested in being a vendor at the expo, feel free to visit the same vendor link above to apply!
Keynote Speakers
One of the last points to note about the expo, is the offering of keynote speakers on senior related topics. There will be keynote speakers throughout the day, including ones talking about medicare, social security, health and wellness, funeral preparation, and even vision for seniors. These speakers will be leading experts in their given industries, offering a complete package for the seniors attending the Quad Cities Senior Expo. All Strong Fitness has the privilege in being one of the keynote speakers at the event, in addition to the other great leaders as well. As of right now, the speaking slots are completely covered.
The Quad Cities Senior Expo 2022 is going to be a great experience for individuals all across the Quad Cities. It hopes to bring seniors and caregivers together to help the underserved population receive the help they need in numerous aspect of life. To visit the official website, you can click the link here.
