Active Senior Expo Serves Important Needs In today’s world of societal

complexity and economic uncertainty, seniors need quick and easy access to information. That’s where Active Senior Expo comes in.

How did Active Senior Expo arrive on the scene? While Cycon was serving as a marketing consultant for Liberty Suburban Chicago Newspapers, the manager of the then-existing Liberty Senior Fair fell ill and Cycon was asked to take over. Armed with a heavy background in marketing, promotion and show management, Cycon doubled the size of the show in a year.

Since 2002, Active Senior Expo has provided instant resources for nearly 225,000 seniors in the Chicago area.

The products and services at the event have solved many problems, enriched standards of living and enhanced many lifestyles.

Since its beginning, Active Senior Expo has delivered on its mission statement: “Dedicated to inform, educate and entertain senior citizens”. In one day, under one roof, the event offers more products and services than a senior could possibly explore on his or her own. Special attractions such as free seminars, free health screenings, free musical entertainment and free door prizes serve to elevate the showgoing experience.

“The feedback we get is 100% positive,” states Show Manager Bob Cycon.

“It’s been a very gratifying twelve years, and we look forward to serving the

At the time, there were only three senior shows in the Chicago area, all held in the same venue, the Drury Lane Theater in Oakbrook Terrace. Cycon thought, “Why not take this concept to other areas in Chicago, making it easier for seniors to attend?”

He formed Silver Star Expositions and devoted his full-time attention to developing Active Senior Expo. The first event was held in Northlake in 2002.

In 2013, events have already been held in Aurora, Oak Forest, Addison and Niles. The final event of the year will be held in Arlington Heights on October 30.

“I really enjoy the St. Charles event,” Cycon said. “The seniors are very friendly, and the Kane County Chronicle and Kane County Fairgrounds are great to work with.”

Cycon emphasizes that he is constantly striving to enhance the value of the events for attendees. “We’re always open to new ideas and suggestions.” He can be reached at (630) 620-6347. E-Mail: activeseniorexpo@hotmail.com.
