COVINGTON, Ky. - March 21, 2026 - The Northern Kentucky Convention Center is gearing up to host the annual Northern Kentucky Resource, Health, Age & Tech Expo this coming Monday, March 23rd, 2026. This highly anticipated event, now in its seventh year, promises a comprehensive showcase of services and innovations designed to enrich the lives of Northern Kentucky residents of all ages, but with a particular focus on the needs of seniors and those navigating the complexities of modern life.

More than just a trade show, the NKY Expo functions as a vital community hub, bridging the gap between individuals seeking assistance and the organizations dedicated to providing it. The Expo's four core pillars - Resources, Health, Age, and Tech - reflect the multifaceted challenges and opportunities facing the region. This year's event is projected to attract over 3,000 attendees, representing a diverse cross-section of the Northern Kentucky population.

A Growing Need for Integrated Support

The increasing demand for events like the NKY Expo speaks to a larger trend: the growing need for integrated support systems. As the population ages, the demand for services related to senior care, assisted living, home healthcare, and financial planning is steadily rising. Simultaneously, rapid technological advancements require individuals to constantly adapt and learn new skills to remain connected, employed, and engaged. The Expo directly addresses these needs by bringing together providers in these critical areas under one roof.

"We envisioned this expo as a one-stop shop for individuals and families seeking information and resources," explains Sarah Miller, the Expo's Lead Organizer. "It's about empowering people to take control of their well-being, navigate life's challenges, and embrace the opportunities that Northern Kentucky has to offer."

What to Expect at the 2026 Expo

This year's Expo boasts an impressive array of exhibitors. Attendees can expect to find representatives from local hospitals, healthcare providers, senior living communities, financial institutions, legal services, and non-profit organizations. A significant expansion of the "Tech" section is planned for 2026, reflecting the growing importance of digital literacy and accessibility.

• Health & Wellness: Free health screenings (blood pressure, glucose, vision) will be offered, alongside educational sessions on topics like heart health, diabetes prevention, and mental well-being. Experts will be on hand to answer questions and provide personalized advice.
• Aging Support: Information on Medicare, Medicaid, social security benefits, estate planning, and elder law will be readily available. Workshops will cover topics like fall prevention, navigating grief, and maintaining an active lifestyle in retirement.
• Resource Fair: Attendees can connect with local organizations offering assistance with housing, food security, job training, and other essential services. Representatives from various government agencies will also be present to answer questions and provide guidance.
• Technology Showcase: The expanded "Tech" section will feature demonstrations of the latest assistive technologies, smart home devices, cybersecurity resources, and digital literacy training. Experts will be available to help attendees troubleshoot technical issues and learn how to stay safe online. Specific focus will be placed on technologies aiding seniors in maintaining independence and connectivity.

Beyond Booths: Interactive Workshops and Demonstrations

The Expo isn't just about browsing booths. A packed schedule of interactive workshops and demonstrations will provide attendees with valuable hands-on experience. This year's schedule includes sessions on topics like: using telehealth services, protecting yourself from online scams, mastering social media, and creating a digital legacy. Live demonstrations of assistive technologies, such as voice-activated assistants and wearable health trackers, will also be held throughout the day.
