Objectives:
-Learn about multiple tech options that have proved beneficial during the Covid crisis
-See how senior living communities throughout the country are utilizing technology to stay engaged and connected
-See examples of multiple free resources available online during the pandemic.

Presenter:
Jack York is co-founder of It’s Never 2 Late (iN2L), a company dedicated to helping older adults realize the full benefits of adaptive technology. Originally, Jack did not envision iN2L as a business; the impetus for what became the company was a philanthropic idea—to donate computers to assisted living communities and nursing homes in Southern California.  With a 15-year background in the Silicon Valley, he saw a vast potential in fostering these connections, but also saw that conventional technology was too difficult for virtually all residents to use in a meaningful way. As a result, in 1999, Jack retired as Vice President of Strategic Sales for Vishay Intertechnology and started what has become a successful gerontechnology company.  He is a sought after national and international speaker on technology being used as a means to create personalized experiences that engage and connect residents to their loved ones and the world at large, specifically individuals with dementia.  As of 2020, the company has a customer base of over 3,000 communities spread out across all 50 states.   iN2L’s work has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal, NPR, and dozens of senior living publications.
