The expo-50plus is an annual fair held in Zurich every November, offering a platform for prevention, quality of life, and elderly care since its inception in 2008. Hosted by apv communications GmbH, this unique event takes place at Zurich's main train station, a central transport hub that is easily accessible and assures a high visitor frequency.
Focused on the so-called Gold Generation, meaning individuals who have reached the age of fifty, the fair emphasizes topics such as health promotion, prevention, and quality of life in advanced age. A core aim of the expo-50plus is to demonstrate how to identify and avoid diseases, addiction, and malnutrition early on, with an emphasis on a proactive approach to maintaining health.
Visitors have the opportunity to access a variety of free health checks. These include cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels tests, COPD risk assessments, hearing tests, and many other essential preventive screenings, all performed by skilled professionals. One of the fair's highlights is the walk-through XXL colon model, presented by the Cancer League. This eight-meter-long model offers visitors an impressive illustration of the various developmental stages of colon cancer.
In addition to health topics, expo-50plus also provides information and advice on other aspects of life for those over 50, including housing and care services as well as bathroom renovation opportunities tailored to the needs of older individuals. In the fair forum, lectures on various topics are held daily. Here, visitors can learn more about diabetes, get information on healthy sleeping, and receive tips on retirement planning.
The expo-50plus is characterized by its comprehensive approach. It offers not just health checks and information but also personal consultations that go far beyond what would be possible in a typical phone consultation. By combining education, prevention, and lifestyle topics, expo-50plus provides invaluable added value for its visitors, setting it apart from other events.
Overall, expo-50plus is a pioneering event that offers an abundance of products, services, and knowledge for an aging population, helping to understand the challenges and opportunities that come with growing older.
The 15th expo-50plus takes place on 3 days from Fri., 25.10.2024 to Sun., 27.10.2024 in Zurich.
