Senior Pass

The organisers of WCAA 2012 have developed plans to ensure that the WCAA 2012 programme will be accessible to the public on each day of the Congress via “WCAA 2012 Senior Passes”.  Senior passes will be for one day at the Congress.

On arriving at the venue there will be the opportunity for participants to meet a personal “buddy” for the day.  These buddies will be a mix of Allied Health Professions students from Glasgow Caledonian University and older volunteers who will guide and mentor older visitors throughout the day and around the venue, providing an “intergenerational mix”.  Participants will start their day by joining the main professional delegates within the Clyde Auditorium listening to the two keynote lectures (aimed at both a scientific and a lay audience) and watch an on-stage demonstration of dance, exercise and physical activity.

They will then be able to spend the rest of the day, with refreshments and lunch included, within the Exhibition Area.  The Exhibition Area will surround a large “Experience Zone” where a variety of physical activity demonstrations and participation opportunities will be provided throughout the day.  They will be able to try a “taster” and talk with the instructors/demonstrators as well as other activities throughout the SECC and environs.  There will also be round table “meet the expert” sessions and there will be the opportunity to learn new IT skills.

WCAA 2012 Senior Passes will offer attendance for a whole day at WCAA 2012 comprising:

• 2 Keynote lectures and onstage physical activity demonstration
• Access to the WCAA 2012 Exhibition
• Access to the “Experience Zone” to take part in taster physical activity opportunities
• “Meet the Expert” sessions
• Opportunity to view Congress posters
• Refreshments and lunch

Further details of WCAA 2012 Senior Passes and booking forms will be available in the New Year of 2012.
