NOW ACCEPTING PROPOSALS FOR THE

LeadingAge Nebraska 2024 Annual Conference & Expo

March 13-14, 2024 (Pre-conference: March 12)
Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center
Kearney, Nebraska (110 2nd Ave, Kearney, NE 68847)
Conference Theme: COURAGE IGNITED
Submission Deadline for 2024 conference: November 3, 2023

Our world is an ever-changing labyrinth of complex issues and challenges, but our common goal is simple—we dedicate ourselves to creating positive change and improving the lives of older adults wherever they call home. Join your colleagues from across the state of Nebraska for Courage Ignited: The LeadingAge Nebraska Annual Conference & Expo on March 13-14, 2024.

LeadingAge Nebraska is committed to our members and their needs – those personalities who are sitting in the seats, milling the hallways and discussing lessons learned at the conference. We do our best to select speakers who don’t just speak, but they TEACH and DEMONSTRATE the skills that both frontline staff and c-suite individuals need to move from point A to point B. And learning, growing and taking steps forward takes courage.

If you are an individual who brings energy to attendees and leaves them with actionable strategies to take back to their senior communities, then we need YOU. We are looking for experts who are willing to share their expertise and experiences in an encouraging and positive way. Join us March 13-14, 2024 at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center in Kearney, Nebraska as we together find ways to ignite our courage.

Evaluation criteria:

  1. Content includes actionable takeaways that people can apply to their work.
  2. Speaker creates interactive environments that enhance the learning experience.
  3. Original, thought-provoking content that is relevant to the work people are doing right now.

  5. If more than one speaker, utilization of a provider member within the presentation - it is best not to have more than 3 panelists for a session.
