About the Conference

Educational programs are designed to provide attendees with just-breaking information, case studies, and research findings on myriad topics. These sessions are either research-focused or offer other educational scenarios including case studies, design outcomes or processes, and exploration of timely topics, all relevant to today’s senior living facilities.

Interested in earning continuing educational credits?

We offer many opportunities for attendees to receive continuing education credits from several accrediting organizations, simply by participating in facility tours, pre-conference workshops, keynotes, and educational breakout sessions.
