LeadingAge Oklahoma Annual Conference
March 12-13, 2019
The 2019 Annual Conference is built around LeadingAge Oklahoma’s strategic initiative of developing innovative programs to advance the operational knowledge of long term care professionals to enhance the care and services of Oklahoma’s growing aging population. The primary areas of programming will include workforce development (specifically to cultivate leadership, attract new talent to the field of aging, and retain a quality workforce), increasing and expanding the use of technology in all settings and stimulating innovation in the aging field to advance new models of service delivery.
Conference Audience
The annual conference attracts nearly 700 provider attendees in the long term care profession, from CEOs to front line staff. This audience is experienced and knowledgeable. Participants expect the most current and highest quality of information.
