2017 Event Expected to Draw 1,000 Seniors, Family Members and Caregivers
SANTA BARBARA, CA, July 6, 2017 — Registration is now available for local companies and organizations to participate in the 29th Annual Senior Expo of Santa Barbara. The largest active aging fair in our area, the Senior Expo will take place on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Earl Warren Showgrounds.
Exhibitors will have the opportunity to engage more than 1,000 area seniors and caregivers with their services and companies and to network with more than 120 local businesses and organizations focused on the needs of seniors and caregivers in our community. Senior Expo is expanding its health screening program for seniors this year and hopes to attract more organizations and companies offering activities to keep seniors and caregivers active and engaged in the community. The Expo will also include a Volunteer and Activities Showcase which allows local clubs, activity groups and nonprofit organizations to present their programs to a large number of people and to recruit volunteers and members onsite.
“The Expo is the only event of its kind on the Central Coast and attracts visitors from throughout Santa Barbara County. Not only do the attendees receive great information and have fun at the event, but the exhibitors also value the opportunity to connect with one another and share their resources,” said Christopher Williams, Expo Director. “With the support of our sponsors and exhibitors, and the help of more than 50 volunteers, we are really proud to be able to bring the Expo to Santa Barbara each year.”
Exhibitors will include public agencies and nonprofits, financial and insurance services as well as housing, home care, healthcare, fitness, education, recreation, transportation and many other vital services and useful products for seniors in our community.
