Did you know that adults over the age of 65 now outnumber youth under 18 in Oregon? This historic shift is transforming our state— and it’s an opportunity to reimagine a future that supports livable communities for people of all ages and abilities. Join age-friendly champions from across the state to hear from subject matter experts, visionary leaders and fellow community members.
The 2025 Age-Friendly Oregon Summit brings together policy makers, advocates for older adults and people with disability, livability and intergenerational advocates, and diverse Oregonians interested in making Oregon a great place for people of all ages and abilities.

SUMMIT GOALS:
- Grow, strengthen, and celebrate Age-Friendly communities
- Foster greater understanding of and accelerate adoption of age-friendly practices and policies
The summit will provide opportunity for participants to:
- Learn about progress being made in Portland and around the state in making our communities great places to live and age well.
- Discover and explore new ideas, promising practices, and policies in housing, health, economic security, civic and social participation, equity, intergenerational connections, and other critical age-friendly domains
- Connect with and be inspired by fellow Oregonians, advocates and thought leaders who are driving community change
