The 2012 International Conference on Aging in the Americas is the fifth installment of a conference series established in 2001. The USC Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging, in partnership with The University of Texas at Austin, will host the first conference in the series to be held outside of Texas in Los Angeles, California on the campus of USC.

The conference is being funded in part by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).

The Conference Series on Aging in the Americas has several goals, one of which is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration by gathering a broad array of researchers in the fields of Hispanic health, health care policy, and behavioral and social aspects of aging into a single forum to exchange ideas and foster collaborative efforts aimed at addressing key issues affecting the health of aged Latinos. Past conferences examined the social and economic causes and consequences of health problems among older Mexican-origin individuals in the United States and in Mexico.
