A Cocktail Party’s Worth of Personal Introductions to Conference Attendees
March 24-26, 2024
The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, California
We have assembled this “Cocktail Book” –a unique book of company and personal profiles – to introduce you to Senior Living 100 attendees and their companies.
You’ll find two key questions: What do you want to share with Senior Living 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!

1. No discussions of prices, price levels, production levels, distribution or production costs shall occur.
2. No discussion shall be had, which has the effect of, or which may be construed as having the effect of:
a. Excluding any company (competitor or supplier) from a particular product or geographic market;
b. Fixing, or attempting to fix, the price, product offering, terms of sale, or territories of operation of any party;
c. Preventing any party from gaining access to specific markets, customers or suppliers.
