Chorong Park will join AARP Texas's Men Who Care Conference in Houston on November 7 for a panel on technology and AI for caregiving. Her announcement lists the session for 11:00-11:40 a.m. Central in Room C at Kingdom Builders' Center, 6011 W. Orem Drive. [1][2]

Park will join moderator Michael Nevels and fellow panelist Carlos Figarella to discuss how AI and companion robots could support older adults and family caregivers. Planned topics include healthy daily habits, sharing caregiving responsibilities and helping older adults learn technology with confidence. [1]
Privacy, trust and people's choices are central to the discussion Park describes. That focus puts a practical question alongside what a device can do: how could it fit into care without weakening independence or human connection? [1]
AARP's broader conference runs from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Central. Park's invitation describes it as free and open to the public; AARP's event page lists a registration deadline of November 6 at 8:00 a.m. Central. [1][2]
