LeadingAge Texas Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO
The LeadingAge Texas Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO is our most highly attended event of the year, typically drawing around 400 total attendees, including both provider and business members. Our aging services members represent more than 200 of Texas' leading not-for-profit organizations, including retirement housing communities, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes, and home- and community-based service providers.
LeadingAge Texas is proud to offer Business Members the opportunity to exhibit in our EXPO hall—an engaging space to share your products and services, highlight innovations, and build meaningful connections with aging services professionals from across the state.
Check out who joined us in the 2025 EXPO hall. You could be on this year's list!

Why Exhibit?
Exposure! Prime contacts! Participation in this one event will give your company access to your target market and the visibility you need to stand out from the competition.
- THE BEST VALUE.
Securing a 2026 exhibitor booth provides your team with up to TWO complimentary registrations to the full conference. Our goal
is to provide you the most opportunities to connect with attendees throughout the 2.5-day conference.
- Hint: 2 non-exhibiting registrations for business members will be more than the cost of a booth. Lock in a booth and secure the best rate!
- Increase your leads. Meet people who are interested in your services and want you to contact them about your
products, events, and promotions.
- Connect face-to-face with your current clients. Deepening current relationships leads to increased client satisfaction
and expanded word-of-mouth promotion.
- Meet high-quality attendees. With hundreds of dedicated aging services professionals and leaders in attendance,
you’ll connect with some of the best in the field.
- Showcase your latest products and services. Attract new customers and visit one-on-one during designated
EXPO Hall events.
- Deepen your knowledge of the industry. Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the four-day
conference, including educational sessions covering a range of topics, as well as the multiple networking events that will be held.
- Let your competition see you. Don’t lose your hold on the market by not showing up. If you’re not there, your
competitors will be.
- Connect with your fellow exhibitors. It’s not all about competition, though. Get to know other Exhibiting
Business Members and have valuable conversations about how you’re supporting aging services professionals.
- Meet the people you support. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with leaders from across the state
to boost your brand, expand your reach, increase your leads, and most importantly– support as many dedicated aging services professionals as possible.
