That wave of new prospects may be absorbed by novel approaches on its way to your community\u2019s door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adapt today for success tomorrow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the premise for the general session at the <a href=\"http:\/\/caassistedliving.org\/conference-home\/\">CALA Fall Conference &amp; Trade Show<\/a>, which takes place November 4-6 in Palm Springs, California. Best-selling author Jack Uldrich will explore current technology trends and examine their potential for senior living, warning that providers who aren\u2019t prepared for these developments risk falling behind their competitors. And according to Jack, \u201cthe best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A similar breakout session, \u201cUsing Tech to Connect,\u201d will be held by Ginna Balk of CDW-Healthcare, who will dive into the latest innovations and their influence on workforce, health care and lifestyle.
