Yes! We want you to get your questions answered. Keep in mind that because we do our homework, many of your questions will likely be answered throughout the prepared panel discussion. If you still have an unanswered question at the end, you will have an opportunity to ask. We do request that if you have a specific question that is personal in nature (i.e. can’t be generalized to the group) that you request a consultation with one of our team members following the event.
We welcome anyone who believes the information would be valuable to them. If you are not a senior, but you are seeking information to advise someone who is — or maybe you are planning ahead — please join us.
Please feel free to contact us concerning any questions you may have. If our event team is unable to answer your questions, we will direct you to one of our many education partners and subject matter experts who will be happy to assist you.
Nope. No sales pitch. You will have an opportunity to get to know the presenters, panelists, hosts, and education partners and can decide for yourself if it makes sense to request their services or products. Presenters and speakers will likely have materials available for you to take home, but it’s up to you to pick them up. From time to time we share opportunities for additional educational programs or workshops which may or may not have fees involved. These are only meant as learning opportunities – never an endorsement of services or advertisement for any specific business or organization.
Absolutely! We want to make the Senior Living Truth Series as meaningful and relevant as possible, so we welcome your suggestions and ideas. Naturally, we prepare the topics for the series well in advance, so be patient concerning time frames for your suggested topic to hit the calendar. In addition, if we are unable to incorporate a topic into this series, we may collaborate with education partners to offer it in another program or at another venue.
We always welcome service providers and business owners seeking to learn. We do charge a $25 fee to attend. You can pay by cash or check. Due to limited seating, we reserve the right to provide priority seating to registered senior adults. We have a VERY STRICT no solicitation / marketing policy and if you pass out business cards, wear branded clothing, or attempt to network with education partners for personal gain, we will ask you to leave. All attendees must check in and provide contact information.
Education partners donate time, money, space, and resources so that programming can be provided at no cost.
Annual partnerships are limited and include a January to December commitment. The deadline for application is November 1st of the preceding year.
