NIC Fall Conferences 2020 | National Investment Center | 6 October 2020 | Virtual Event

Convening the leadership of seniors housing and care to share insights, build meaningful relationships, and grow their businesses, “the NIC” remains the industry’s most important event of the year.

Peer-to-peer exchanges provided the opportunity to brainstorm while experts put their own spin on the future of aging at NIC Talks. Educational sessions gave insights into the capital markets and what’s hot—the active adult rental market. After a day of making connections, NIC Fall Conference attendees mixed and mingled at a networking reception.

The premier annual event in seniors housing and care properties is more essential than ever. Spread across two convenient and schedule-friendly weeks, the virtual experience boasts over 50+ national thought-leaders, a fully developed three-track program featuring informative education sessions, and a cutting-edge networking platform that promises to deliver real business results, well beyond the month of October.

Amid a historic pandemic, markets are in disruption as political, environmental, and socio-economic factors drive rapid, significant change. While ‘the NIC’ Fall Conference is virtual, the need for the latest data, thought-leadership, strategic insights, and connections, is as real as ever. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to stay ahead of the disruption.

Convenient, on-demand access, and lower cost, introduces the possibility that many more team members within a given organization can participate without heavily reducing operations and productivity.
