Now Accepting Submissions for the 2026 Annual Regulatory & Education Conference

Friday, November 20, 2026

LeadingAge Connecticut & Rhode Island is now accepting presentation proposals for our Annual Regulatory & Education Conference, taking place Friday, November 20.

This is our annual Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) regulatory education program for skilled nursing and assisted living providers. While the program has traditionally focused on annual regulatory updates, we expanded it last year into a full-day conference, combining the regulatory content our members rely on with additional educational sessions addressing the broader challenges and opportunities facing aging services providers.

We are seeking timely, practical, and engaging presentations that address regulatory, operational, clinical, workforce, leadership, compliance, and other issues relevant to skilled nursing and assisted living providers.

Have a topic our members need to know about? We want to hear from you.

Submit your presentation proposal by Friday, September 25.

Whether your expertise is in leadership, clinical care, workforce development, regulatory compliance, technology, operations, finance, marketing, or another area impacting aging services, we encourage you to share your knowledge with our members.
