“It is not how old you are, but how you are old.“ -Jules Renard

Powered by later lifestyle specialists, Auriens, this 48-hour hackathon will enable the brightest minds to bring about the best new thinking for baby boomers and beyond.

From technology and travel to health and hospitality, this first-of-a-kind event is designed to hack innovation across all aspects of the ageing spectrum.

In with the old, out with the new.

Get ready to mix the new with the old. Developers, dreamers and designers are invited to an exclusive event to create ideas for an ageing world.

Auriens is changing the face of ageing.

A brand new healthtech and hospitality startup, Auriens specializes in later life lux. Beginning with what will arguably be the world’s coolest old folks’ home, located in the heart of Chelsea, Auriens has a vision to transform the traditional view of old age, injecting vintage vitality into a market sector that is more typically used to pipes and slippers.

The Auriens resident is affluent, aspirational and ambitious, keen to live life to the full and not yet ready to sacrifice city living for the shires.

One aim: to deliver immersive, innovative and imaginative solutions that challenges the conventions around old age and hacks new ideas to improve the quality (and quantity!) of all aspects of later life for this generation and the next. Considering everything from hospitality and healthcare to travel, fashion and retail, this event is expected to excel in creating age-defying ideas.

Living

Caring

Connecting

Imagine technology tools that will enrich a residential living environment, considering everything from ergonomic architecture to embedded technology, lifestyle and concierge services to healthcare, hospitality and wellbeing.

Think about the details of the built environment, food and drink, fitness, mental and physical stimulation and R&R. Consider the on-boarding process and how to ensure a seamless and stressless transition for residents.

Create ideas around health care, devising dynamic ideas around the provision of care, from the perspectives of hospitality and technology.

Consider avant garde solutions around technology, enabling residents to communicate with friends and family as well as staying connected to the world of business. Explore the social side of life, imagining innovation across events, entertainment and relationships.

Go above and beyond with your ideas to design bespoke solutions to make a tangible difference in the lives of the residents at Auriens.
