NIC Fall Conference

Investors + Senior Living Leaders

By Nik Edlinger on Aug 20, 2019 in Events, News

Going to the NIC Fall Conference? This is one senior living opportunity you don’t want to miss.

The NIC Fall Conference is the only industry event where senior living executives and capital providers come together. Set for September 11-13 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, the conference will bring in over 3,000 leaders from senior housing, skilled nursing and post-acute care. You’ll have the chance to meet industry-drivers and dealmakers while learning more than a thing or two about the latest market trends.

Yardi is proud to sponsor the NIC Fall Conference once again. We partnered with NIC last year to collect accurate, transparent data on senior housing rates, and this three-day event is the perfect showcase for the research and learnings that NIC continues to drive.

Insightful Sessions, Renowned Speakers

Whether you’re a senior living investor or operator, the NIC Fall Conference has takeaways galore. The 18 sessions are sorted into two focus areas: Managing Margins and Realizing Returns. The first covers property operations and management, while the latter dives into investments and capital flow.

During the opening general session, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Dr. Janet L. Yellen, the first-ever woman to be appointed chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and one of the world’s leading authorities on economic policy. She’ll share her thoughts on economic trends the senior living industry will face in coming years. Kathleen Hays, editor for Bloomberg Television and Radio, will be moderating the discussion.

Among other notable speakers at the event, Joseph F. Coughlin, Ph.D. and director of MIT’s AgeLab, will take the stage during the luncheon general session, sponsored by Yardi. He’ll explore the crossroads of demographics and business innovation, sharing his award-winning research on how the baby boomers’ consumer behaviors will shape the future of senior care products and services.

Senior Living Ideas Worth Sharing

Of course, there are plenty more activities to keep you busy. In addition to a series of networking events throughout the three days, the NIC Fall Conference features several unique sessions designed to get you talking, including peer-to-peer salons for facilitated group discussions and a creative hackathon that ends in a competition. To top it off, the popular NIC Talks are returning this year.

Taking a cue from the well-known TED Talks series, the NIC Talks are 12-minute, idea-packed presentations designed to educate and inspire the way you think about successful aging. NIC will be hosting eight thought leaders and experts during the conference. Each speaker will tackle the topic “How Am I Changing the Future of Aging?”
