2022 Keynote Speaker
Stu Maddux, Award-winning Filmmaker
This year, our Keynote Speaker is Stu Maddux, award-winning filmmaker of Gen Silent. He will present on “Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Resilience in LGBTQ Older Adults” featuring his new and timely documentary film All The Lonely People, that tells the story of the troubling increase of chronic loneliness and social isolation affecting people of all ages and backgrounds across the world. In these “interesting times” that ask us all to be resilient, his film and perspective are equally compelling and hopeful.
In addition to the keynote speaker, the conference will also offer nine workshops. Participants can attend up to three of the nine.
