What makes the perfect village and care conference?
This is what we think about every year for our LEADERS SUMMIT to be staged in seven weeks time: 19 & 20 March in Sydney.
Answer: content that makes you think and that you can use – immediately.
Think about this: in two days our speakers deliver on retirement villages, aged care, home care, private village care, Consumer Directed Care, rental villages and manufactured home estates. How each of these interrelate and operator strategies.
Our speakers also deliver on finance, banking, property, the regulatory environment plus sales and marketing.
Our SUMMIT is about business. It is full on, with hard information being delivered that delegates can take away and use immediately – in planning, strategy and day-to-day activity.
And our SUMMIT is also about leadership, when both villages and care are going through structural change into new, uncharted territories.
Villages have to build home care services into their product mix, greatly complicating a simple business model.
Care operators face extremely rapid deregulation and first-time competition.
Leadership will be demanded by staff, boards and bankers.
Our speakers are successful and progressive CEOs, Chairmen and Principals.
Networking. It is one thing to hear speakers and another to meet and talk with them. Networking is invaluable; we have extended the coffee and lunch breaks. And we have our unique hatted private dinners. 10 exclusive restaurants, 30 delegates each, premium cuisine and refreshments.
The 220 delegates at the LEADERS SUMMIT 2014 declared the event ‘excellent’ (42%),’very good’ (48%) and ‘fairly good’ (10%). We will exceed this result in 2015, thanks to our speakers.
The investment? $1750 plus GST for two days, including the private hatted dinner.
