2026 Enjoy Life Active Aging Symposium

This is a FREE, fun, and engaging event for older adults 55+ focused on the importance of active aging. The day has been thoughtfully designed by Capri Communities—Wisconsin’s experts in senior living. At Capri, our tagline is "enjoy life". It is something that we strive to do with our residents every day, so we wanted to share this philosophy with our greater community. The Enjoy Life Symposium is not about senior living but, rather, the importance of staying active in mind, body, and spirit and living life to the fullest.

At the Enjoy Life Symposium, the day is yours to create. Featured speakers, exhibitors, interactive activities, educational breakout sessions, raffles, senior clubs and organizations, food, music, and much more will be on hand for you to explore and enjoy.

Our Main Stage, sponsored by Network Health, will feature gardening expert Melinda Myers, who will demonstrate beautiful and easy container gardening; a senior fashion trends show emceed by John McGivern; and a celebrity cooking demonstration focused on delicious meals for one or two.

We have many fun surprises and guests planned for the 2026 Enjoy Life Active Aging Symposium, and hope that you will join us and share this event with your friends. The more the merrier!

Soft drinks, bottled water, and $10 boxed lunches from Cousins Subs will be available for purchase. You are also welcome to bring in your own food to enjoy throughout the day.
