Classroom B

Tony LaPalio, Founder/CEO
Senior Tech Support
This engaging session will introduce you to the world of smart home devices and digital tools that make everyday life easier—from motion-activated lighting that prevents falls to voice-controlled assistants like Alexa that can help with reminders, security, and even turning off the lights.

You’ll discover how technology can support:
• Safety: Devices that alert family members if something goes wrong, from falls to floods
• Peace of mind: Monitoring tools that help loved ones stay connected and informed
• Comfort and convenience: Smart thermostats, lights, blinds, and appliances that respond to your voice or daily routine

Whether you’re already using some tech or feel unsure where to begin, this presentation is designed to meet you where you are with real examples, simple explanations, and plenty of time for questions. Learn how technology can quietly support your independence without complicating your life.

You’ll leave with practical tips, product suggestions, and a whole new perspective on how your home can work with you as you age. Don’t miss this opportunity to future-proof your home and your peace of mind!

With over 20 years of experience in technology training, management, and education, Tony has worked with Samsung, iRobot, Meta, and TiVo, where he designed, built, deployed, operationalized, and scaled international training teams. His passion for helping older adults thrive in a digital world stem from firsthand experience seeing the challenges they face in staying connected. Senior Tech Support was built to bridge this gap with expert, compassionate guidance, empowering seniors to embrace technology with confidence.
