Spring Leadership Conference Wrap Up

The 2023 HCAM Spring Leadership Conference brought over 325 people together, both in person and virtually, to learn from industry leaders, get up-to-date information about new products and resources, and share their passion for delivering excellent long-term care for Michigan’s senior population. Based on the event evaluations, there was something for everyone.

From first-time attendees:

• “As a first-time attendee, I found it very informative. Keep a good mix of “dry” (but important) info and “engaging” (important but more thought provoking). I also learned a lot about HCAM and the role it plays in advocating for facilities, etc.”
• “This was my first time attending the HCAM conference. All of the speakers were engaging and interesting. They kept my attention and had useful tips I can implement at my building.”

From long-timers:

• “It wasn’t the same old thing – I felt that there were some very interesting topics.”
• “This was one of the BEST conferences I’ve attended. Every session was interesting and addressed the challenges the LTC industry is facing.”
• “These sessions addressed the challenges in new and interesting ways … not just the same old interventions we hear yearly … continue what you’re doing!”

From virtual participants:

• “It was terrific! The audio visual for virtual was the best yet! The speakers were more lively, too this year”
• “The sessions were very interesting. Virtual sessions can be difficult at times, but the presenters were able to hold my attention well.”

From in-person attendees:

• “Love in-person events – each presentation offered me better understandings related to my job.”
• “I think funding, recruitment, and compliance are the top 3 issues we have. You hit the nail on the head.”
• “The live conference was excellent! The sessions were very timely to my needs as a health care professional.”

And don’t forget about the on-demand option:

• “Sometimes I wanting to attend both breakout session. I’m glad we have the option to watch presentations after the event to get all of the information.”

Please not that we are in the process of getting all the session recordings. Check the Event Hub later in the week for on-demand access.

Thank you to everyone – our attendees, speakers, sponsors, board members, volunteers and staff — who made this successful event possible!
