Each year SSC convenes people from the silos, systems, organizations and communities that touch older people in our county. Our Making the Difference conferences explore emerging issues, illuminate challenges that we need to tackle together, and spark collaborative solutions.
2026 conference
Making the Difference: Working in Solidarity to Shape the 2027 Agenda
Details for our upcoming December 4, 2026 conference are still being finalized, so please check back for updates. Making the Difference will bring together community-based organizations, health and social service providers, policymakers, and community members to examine emerging issues and explore solutions that improve health and life outcomes for older people in Alameda County.

Plan to Join Us on December 4th from 8:30 AM – 2 PM.
We’ll be taking a deep dive into what it takes to make the difference for older people in Alameda County. Change happens when we work in solidarity. This time, we’ll be focusing on how we can work together to shape the 2027 agenda. The venue, Nile Hall, in Preservation Park, Oakland, offers a great space to meet, share ideas, and exchange strategies. If you haven’t joined us before, or just want a refresher on what the day offers, please review videos and materials from prior years.
