For 50 years, our conference has brought together the people who share a passion for improving the lives of older adults. This milestone celebration is an opportunity to reflect on the relationships, ideas and partnerships that have shaped our industry, and to look ahead to what is possible when we connect.
The Magic of Connection celebrates the power of bringing people together: leaders and innovators, operators and caregivers, policymakers and partners, exhibitors and delegates, and the many people who make seniors living and care better every day.
- Connections spark ideas.
- Connections inspire innovation.
- Connections create partnerships.
- And connections turn possibilities into meaningful change.
Our 50th annual conference will be a celebration of where we have been, where we are today, and where we can go together. Through inspiring speakers, thought-provoking conversations, networking opportunities and our vibrant tradeshow, attendees will have countless opportunities to discover new ideas, share experiences, build relationships and find inspiration.
Because sometimes the most meaningful moments happen in an unexpected conversation, a new introduction, a shared idea or a chance encounter on the tradeshow floor.
After 50 years, we know that the real magic has always been the people… and the connections we make along the way.
Join us as we celebrate 50 years of connection and create the next chapter together.
