Leaders Summit 2018 | Leaders Summit | 15 March 2018 | Hilton Sydney, 488 George Street, Sydney

Welcome to the LEADERS SUMMIT 2018.
Each March we present two days to take ‘time out’ to focus on the business of village communities, aged care and home care. We review the business landscape: the successes, failures, challenges and opportunities plus provide an unrivalled networking environment.

New ‘care’ business models: Consumer demand for retirement communities is rapidly changing with the traditional property models under multiple threats with emerging care models:

• new accommodation models
• new services models
• new digital models
• new social services models
• new funding restrictions without ‘care’
• new resident advocacy demanding ‘care’ responsibility to name a few.

In just three years ‘care’ has become a fundamental ingredient in the village community value proposition, whether it is a retirement village, land lease community or a rental village.

Next March we present 29 leading executives from here and overseas who we have identified are at the forefront of their village & care specialisation and by their actions are shaping our sectors.
Each speaker delivers a rich and concise 20 minute review of their business strategy and execution in a collegiate effort to allow you to compare and adjust your business for the short and medium term market.
