An invitation to attendIn 2008, INPEA partnered with the Canadian Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse to host a very successful 2-day conference in Ottawa, to mark WEAAD. In 2009 the official INPEA WEAAD event was held in Paris, in partnership with ALMA, the French national elder abuse prevention organization. It took place just prior to the World Congress of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics. In 2011 the conference was held in London, hosted by INPEA and Action on Elder Abuse, the major elder abuse organization in Great Britain and six partner organizations that work with older people. This year INPEA and ZIVOT 90 and IFA are partnering to host an outstanding international event that will take place in Prague, Czech Republic the day before and during the 11th Global Conference of the International Federation of Ageing (IFA).
