The LeadingAge Annual Meeting and EXPO is set to take place October 28-31 in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. With 4,500 attendees expected and over 150 educational sessions offered, it will be a bustling few days filled with networking and new ideas. The conference schedule also features thought-provoking speakers, including renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, who seeks to capture the beauty of aging.

Her talk is called the “Inspire keynote,” and as the first woman to hold an exhibition at Washington’s National Portrait Gallery and an exhibitor at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Annie Leibovitz has inspired many throughout her nearly-fifty-year career. She’s photographed hundreds of world-famous faces and is an expert at capturing not only a beautiful image, but her subject’s story as well. It’s why Ms. Leibovitz has become so renowned for her stunning portraits: they depict a lifetime of experiences, without any negative perceptions of aging—a rare thing in a society with narrowly defined beauty norms.

To some, growing older comes with a stigma. Instead of appreciating each wrinkle as a sign of a life well lived, lines are fretted over, gray hair is dyed. To challenge the perceptions of aging, conference attendees will be encouraged to contemplate and redefine what it means to grow old with appreciation, grace and dignity.

The event EXPO, the largest in the senior living industry, will close out the conference. In addition to exhibiting the latest goods and services, the EXPO features a special exhibit to demonstrate a day in the life of a future resident. Attendees will experience various resident scenarios—like living with dementia—via an immersive virtual reality simulation to inspire innovation and creativity.

LeadingAge Annual Meeting attendees can schedule time to meet with the Yardi senior living team to learn more about its single connected solution for senior living management.
