AgeTech After Dark at CES 2027 is a pitch event from the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP. It asks how your tech solution helps make aging easier. The event is in Las Vegas on 7 January 2027, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Applications opened on 1 September 2026 and close on 12 October 2026 at 11:59 pm.
A selection committee reviews applications and invites the top startups to the pitch session. You have up to 3 minutes in front of a live panel of industry experts.
Startups must offer a solution in the AgeTech space. The page names financial resiliency, healthcare, social engagement, accessibility, caregiving, and other longevity areas. If you are not focused on AgeTech, the page also wants solutions for healthspan and wellness, products that help people stay active as they age. It says it loves prototypes, and that it is looking for products and services that are ready for the market.
Selected finalists receive one complimentary ticket to CES 2027 in Las Vegas. Startups selected to pitch may be invited into the AgeTech Collaborative accelerator, with hands on mentorship from a team that builds for people aged 50 and over. An invitation is not guaranteed. The selected pitch winner receives a $10,000 grand prize.
