The 18th Annual HJ Sims Virtual Late Winter Conference

Our 18th Annual HJ Sims Late Winter Conference has gone virtual. This year, our conference will examine trends and developments critical to the success of senior living communities. An extensive and thoughtful agenda has been compiled to address financing methods, operating strategies and technological advancements that can help alleviate existing challenges and encourage continued growth in the non-profit and proprietary sectors of our industry. Throughout the conference, we will deliver a dynamic group of speakers and experts committed to sharing thought-provoking views and providing profound insight. Our series of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, panels and roundtables will deliver an invaluable forum for exchanging ideas and information, while also providing unique networking opportunities. The objective of the Late Winter Conference is for industry participants to learn and discuss each other’s strategies and solutions for success.

We didn’t quite realize how turbulent it would be for us and our industry. Throughout it all, we persevered and coped with change, loss and the unexpected. Please enjoy this video as our team reflects on 2020 and looks forward to ‘seeing’ you soon.

This conference has been planned for senior living community owners/operators and management including board members, institutional investors, invited speakers as well as senior living industry partners who do not own, operate or manage a community.

For more information, please contact Rebecca Brady.
