We’re excited to present the 2020 LeadingAge Texas Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO on Oct 6-8. Our goal is to make the virtual experience every bit as interesting and exciting as the live event! You’ll experience much of what our attendees have come to love about our live conference—plus a few surprises!
From the moment you (virtually) walk into the lobby of the three-dimensional conference, you’ll feel like you’re physically there. You can explore the EXPO exhibits, attend educational sessions, earn CEUs, catch keynote speakers Adam White & Karith Foster and even network with colleagues.
Advantages of attending the conference virtually:
-
You’ll save time and money on travel: no hotel stay, no gas, no car rental, no traffic!
-
Registration rates are discounted as we’re sensitive to many of our members being under COVID-related financial stress
-
People who usually wouldn’t have the opportunity to physically attend will find it easier to participate
Why we decided on a virtual conference
We decided to go virtual when it became clear we needed to pivot in order to protect our members. As their well-being comes first, there was no way we could encourage people in the senior living industry to gather and put their safety,
or the safety of their residents, at risk.
Finding a virtual platform that feels real
As we pivoted, we concentrated on finding the best virtual platform. We were fortunate that LeadingAge National was also starting a search. We selected the same platform. We chose an engaging system, with three-dimensional elements and cool
features, so that you feel as close as possible to being at a live conference. When you enter the conference, it’s not like looking at a flat screen; there’s a three-dimensional building with different activities going on in the lobby.
The EXPO Hall
Each exhibitor will have a booth. Visitors can chat with staff in real time, access their resources and set appointments. In addition to dedicated hours for the EXPO, you’ll be allowed 24/7 access to booths for months to come.
Networking
opportunities
You can see who’s online at any given time, so you can connect with them via live video chat. It’s like being at our live conference, seeing a colleague in a hallway, and starting a conversation—only, it’s virtual.
General
Sessions
Complementing two days of education sessions will be two general keynote sessions:
Opening Keynote: Purpose Driven: We Do It Better When We Do It Together
with Adam White, leadership speaker & human potential expert
In this powerful program, leadership speaker & human potential expert, Adam White, teaches leaders and individuals how to reconnect with themselves and
develop their internal leadership ability, which improves their professional leadership in the process.
Closing Keynote: Together: A Mind Shift of Unity Over Division
with Karith Foster, professional comedian and speaker
This keynote is uniquely designed to educate and cultivate a sincere comprehension of the intersection of modern day diversity, but with the focus on INVERSITY(TM)
- inclusion, and introspection.
