Palm Beach County Convention Center Β· Jan 29β30, 2027 Β· 9:00 AMβ5:00 PM
Our last two conferences sold out. Don't wait until January to decide you want to be in the room.
Secure your seatYou have the dream
Getting there can feel overwhelming β and one wrong decision can cost more than time.
01
You lease or buy a property before confirming it actually works for your intended use.
02
You carry a mortgage or lease payment while the property that was supposed to become an asset produces no income.
03
You hire someone to guide you, then find out they don't do this every day β and can't be reached when it matters.
And even after you open, the questions keep coming β staying compliant, filling beds, marketing, referrals, staffing, making the business profitable without it consuming your life.
How do I stay compliant?How do I fill my beds?How do I build referrals?
The right room, not more noise
You don't need more information. You need the right people in the room.
The decisions that make or break a care business. The mistakes people don't discover until after they've spent the money. The relationships that move things forward.
