June 3-6
Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort, CA
We have assembled this “Cocktail Book” –a unique book of company and personal profiles – to introduce you to Home Care 100 attendees and their companies.
You’ll find two key questions: What do you want to share with Home Care 100 attendees? And what would you like to learn from them? These are followed by two lighter personal questions.
We hope you find the end product to be both a useful and enjoyable way to get to know your peers.
I look forward to seeing you in California!
