2020 LeadingAge Kentucky Virtual Annual Conference
October 15-16, 2020
Virtual
The 2020 LeadingAge Kentucky Virtual Annual Conference will be held October 15-16, 2020. Our annual conference is going virtual due to COVID-19. We are all disappointed that we won’t be able to come together this year and reconnect in-person, but for the safety of all, especially the people served in all our member communities, this felt like the right course of action. We cannot in any way risk the health of the people we serve by convening as a large group and possibly creating an opportunity to transmit the virus back to member communities. We also understand that COVID-19 preparedness and mitigation mean its all-hands-on-deck at the communities, with a laser-sharp focus on the welfare of your residents and teams. As such, it’s a tough decision but the right one for the time.
LeadingAge Kentucky invites you to contribute to this important event by submitting an application for presentation.
Presentation Structure:
Sessions should provide an engaging learning experience; incorporate interactive educational methods; provide take-home resources to the fullest extent possible; and demonstrate measurable outcomes and results. Submissions will be reviewed to develop a high-quality, well-balanced, and interactive education program. Submissions not selected for the 2020 Annual Meeting may be considered for future programming.
The selection committee encourages expanding the educational format beyond the traditional teacher/student PowerPoint format. All presenters are encouraged to use other learning formats to allow for a deeper and more personalized learning experience for attendees, along with practical information they can take home and implement immediately such as:
Proposals that offer an interactive shared-learning approach and sessions that are designed to focus on best practices and creative solutions to a specific challenge are especially preferred for 2020.
