Caring Across Generations

The State of New Mexico worked diligently with Glorieta to ensure that no provisions in the venue’s contract or terms of use prohibit any group of citizens from participating in the Conference on Aging. The state made it clear from the beginning that this event must be open, inclusive, and welcoming to all participants.

The New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department (ALTSD) is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the conference, including programming, speakers, exhibitors, and marketing. Glorieta is serving solely as the venue and is not involved in any planning, content review, or decision-making related to the conference.

If you are unable to attend, please notify us at altsd.coa@altsd.nm.gov. While refunds are not available, your cancellation allows us to better manage the event logistics and accommodate others from the waitlist.

Yes, attendees must check in at the registration table upon arrival. There will be signage throughout the venue, as well as volunteers helping you navigate.

New Mexico Aging Services will be coordinating shuttles throughout all three days of the conference to and from various locations in Santa Fe. A map of shuttle locations and schedule will be updated soon.

Due to the increased capacity of this year’s conference and limited parking on-site, we are encouraging attendees to utilize our park and ride shuttles from Santa Fe. If you are coming with a senior center/program and are bringing a group of attendees, you may drive to Glorieta.

Please visit our program overview for all start and end times.
