With record attendance, the 2019 NIC Fall Conference in Chicago last week brought together more than 3,300 participants for three days of networking, educational sessions, receptions, and high-profile speakers such as former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.
Programming focused on current market trends and innovations as well as how to best address the disruptions facing the industry. Experts provided insights into effective operational strategies as well as changing capital flows and deal structures.
Session participation got a boost from new formats including town halls, peer-to-peer exchanges and a seven-minute lighting round of tech innovations.
New NIC-sponsored research on the growing demand for middle-market seniors housing—“The Forgotten Middle”—was spotlighted along with possible solutions. And NIC Talks returned as eight speakers took the stage to challenge our views on aging.
“The Fall Conference is instrumental in helping deliver on our mission by providing a platform to connect, educate, and discuss,” said Brian Jurutka, NIC president & CEO. “It is a gathering that allows key industry stakeholders to share ideas, learn about best practices, and exchange views on where the space is headed.”
Timely themes included how to recruit and retain good workers, the impact of the ongoing shift to value-based healthcare, and the role of technology. In a continuing effort to improve transparency for investors, NIC announced a new partnership with PointClickCare to further enhance NIC’s rental rate data initiative.
Other program highlights included:
Attendees will be provided access to video and audio recordings for most of the sessions via nic.org. Publicly accessible highlights and sessions, including NIC Talks, are being posted to NIC’s YouTube page.
Join us for the NIC 2020 Spring Conference, March 4-6, San Diego.
