The objective of the Late Winter Conference is for industry participants to learn and discuss each other’s strategies and solutions for success.

Conference Recap

 

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.
