Conversations with the FDA and CMS
Since 2013, the Conversations with the FDA and CMS —moderated by the Alliance— convenes and provides leaders from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) with the opportunity to reflect on progress their agencies have made in implementing major policy changes to improve the health of older adults. The event is also an opportunity for these leaders to offer their insights on future changes that may positively impact healthcare innovation.

Annual Awards Dinner
The Annual Awards Dinner has become widely recognized as Washington DC’s signature social event following Congress’ return from its traditional August recess. As one Capitol Hill regular put it, “This is like Back to School Night for Washington’s health policy community – you see everyone here.”
The Annual Awards Dinner also has a deeper purpose: to honor individuals for their contributions to advance the science of human aging.
