Table Talk Series© Live Longer, Live Smarter

Tuesday 02/10/2026 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Virtual

February may be a time for flowers, flattery, and falling in love. It’s also a time for connecting with family and those we count on in a crisis. With that in mind, some scientists and medical futurists are predicting that in the next five years or less, we could experience the equivalent of three centuries of progress in screening and preventing illness. Plus, it’s projecting human longevity could stretch toward 120, 130 - possibly 150 years. We’re living longer, healthier lives and longevity changes everything. As a contributor and collaborator with MIT’s Age Lab and affectionately known by clients and the community as the Queen of Long-Term Care Planning, our February guest speaker will tell you this: love alone, without a plan of care, is not enough when an unexpected crisis strikes. The consequences will be expensive and can leave even the closest and loving family in chaos. With decades of experience in long-term care planning and funding, Carol Brandt, CLTC® will lead a thoughtful, educational and inspirational conversation you won’t want to miss.
