In November 2022, Auckland Council and the Auckland University of Technology’s Centre for Active Ageing co-hosted the Age-Friendly Auckland Symposium.

The Symposium celebrated the one year anniversary of the Age Friendly Auckland Plan being adopted; supported the implementation group’s priorities of research, advocacy, and communications and engagement; commemorated the International Day of Older Persons; and connected the aged sector in Auckland together. It was well attended with 130-140 attendees and diverse speakers from across government (central and local), academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and older people and their advocates
