News & Insights from the Boomer Project

Dear Matt,

As we reported last month, we're changing this newsletter to be of better service to our subscribers.

Or you can get ahead of the masses by subscribing to the news feed from our new blog, Boomer Consumer :: The Blog.
 
Rest assured, the blog isn't a continuous ad for the book. It's simply where we post articles, reports, insights and observations we used to hold for this monthly newsletter or other venues. Now we post almost daily at the blog.

Boomer Conference

The Boomer Project will be presenting at a major Boomer Business Conference in Chicago, September 17-19, 2007. The conference is part of Consumer Healthcare World conferences, but it isn't 100% focused on healthcare issues.
 
Speakers include Matt Thornhill of the Boomer Project; Richard Adler of the Institute for the Future; Sandra Timmermann, MetLife's Mature Market Institute; Eileen Marcus, FH Boom; Brent Green, author of Marketing to Leading edge Boomers; and Mary Fulong, of Furlong & Associates.
 
It should be a strong event with lots of good content.
