WELCOME TO LIFE@50+

Dear Colleague:

From September 6–8, 2007, AARP will host our annual event:

Life@50+ | AARP’s National Event & Expo.

Our theme is Boston 2007: It’s Revolutionary. And it is. Because in one place, for three days,

exhibitors and sponsors will gain unique access to one of the most dynamic, powerful groups in

America —the 50+ audience. We’re expecting more than 25,000 members and others to attend.

Life@50+ | AARP’s National Event & Expo has been an overwhelming success since its inception, growing exponentially

year after year and providing value for both members and exhibitors and sponsors. And it’s not surprising. Here, you

can promote your products, showcase your services, share your message, and enhance your visibility among those over

50, including baby boomers.

Life@50+ is simply an unparalleled opportunity to capitalize on AARP’s reach and influence with people over 50,

and the reputation we’ve earned in serving them. It’s an ideal venue to communicate with AARP members and other

attendees as well as the AARP Board of Directors, and to network with like-minded businesses.

We invite you to read on for more information about how you can connect with the vibrant, growing AARP audience as

an exhibitor or sponsor at Life@50+ | AARP’s National Event & Expo. Join us for a revolutionary time in Boston!

Sincerely,

Dawn M. Sweeney

President & CEO, AARP Services, Inc.

What occurs when you put thousands of our members in one place?An opportunity.

Life@50+ | AARP’s National Event & Expo is a rare opportunity for you to increase your organization’s visibility and

reach among baby boomers and beyond. It’s your chance to speak directly to one of the fastest growing markets

around. And it’s a great way for our members to learn about the products and services that matter the most to them

and their lifestyle.

This annual event offers three action-packed days of information, education, and fun. It features world-renowned

speakers and entertainers, celebrity appearances, an extensive interactive exhibition floor, lifestyle workshops,

concerts, games, prizes, and more.

As Life@50+ has grown exponentially year after year, so too has its success. It’s no wonder that exhibitor participation

has expanded more than 100% since 2001. And with more than 425 exhibitors expected in 2007, AARP members and

others will have access to an even greater array of products and services. As an exhibitor or sponsor in Boston, you

can share the success by capitalizing on AARP’s trusted connection with our influential, vibrant audience, and the

reputation we have earned in nearly 50 years of serving them.

So put the power of AARP to work for your organization. Join us in historic Boston for Life@50+.
