Conferences, investor forums, and operator summits worth your time — curated for the people who actually run communities.
October 27–30, 2026
LeadingAge
The nonprofit and mission-driven side of senior living. If your portfolio includes CCRCs, affordable housing, or faith-based communities, this is your room. Strong on regulatory and policy content — and a good counterweight to the capital-markets-heavy conferences.
November 18–19, 2026
Argentum
Argentum's fall leadership gathering — smaller and more focused than the main conference. Good for operators who want peer-level conversations about what's actually working on the floor right now, without the trade show noise.
February 3–5, 2027
American Seniors Housing Association
ASHA's annual gathering skews toward the ownership and investment side of the house. Strong policy content and a good read on where the REIT and private equity community sees the market heading. The informal conversations at this one are often more valuable than the sessions.
March 11–12, 2027
Senior Housing News
SHN's annual sales and marketing conference — focused on occupancy growth, lead generation, and the tactics operators are actually using to fill buildings. More practitioner-level than the capital markets conferences, which makes it useful for anyone running a sales or marketing function.
March 25–27, 2027
National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care
The spring counterpart to NIC Fall — smaller and more focused, with a strong emphasis on data and market fundamentals. Good for operators who want to understand how their portfolio metrics stack up against what investors are seeing across the sector.
May 6–8, 2027
Argentum
The main Argentum event of the year. The largest gathering of senior living executives in the country — heavy on operations, workforce, and technology. The sessions that matter to people who actually run buildings. The expo floor is worth a walk if you want to see where operators are putting their vendor dollars.
If there's a conference, summit, or forum relevant to senior living operators and investors that we're missing, let us know.
