Life@50+ Comes to LA

Perhaps it's the best kept secret. Folks 50 and older? They like to have a good time.

"One of the ways I describe the event, I call it the summer camp that you don't want to tell your kids about," says Jason Weinstein, Director of the AARP National Event.

20,000 people are expected to make there way through the convention doors this weekend, and with about 3 million AARP members in California, most of the registrants are from the Golden State.

"It's a opportunity to showcase Los Angeles, as much as it is an opportunity to showcase AARP," according to Weinstein.

Beyond the medical screenings that you'd expect, attendees can also take part in activities like guitar lessons, simulated race car driving, tracing family roots and learning the latest technology.

"You get to meet new people and learn new things," says Roberta Fredericks, from East Northport, New York.

"We did learn something more are about computers, and the pads, tablets," according to Bill Fredericks, also from East Northport, NY.

For companies with exhibits, the convention offers an opportunity to connect with a seasoned audience.

Score Association is looking to recruit volunteers with business backgrounds.

"They can pass it on to the people who need it, the next generation coming up. We know that coming here we're going to meet that type of person," says Blake Welch, Score association, Regional Director for the Western US.
