Conference Events
Caring for Aging Parents: Tools for a Successful Journey has several events that offer a variety of opportunities for gaining the most from the conference. Begin networking by participating in the Care Match or chat with Experts to get pressing questions answered. Don’t miss the meals. Each has a keynote speaker who is motivational and inspiring; but more importantly, each speaker has experience as a caregiver to their parents. Because we are serious about making resources accessible to the public, plan to visit the Exhibit Hall and participate in the Care Match Program. We hope you plan to take advantage of every opportunity at the conference when you complete the registration form.
