2024 Activities Strong Summer Gathering

Now in its fifth year, the #ActivitiesStrong Virtual Summit is the largest and most successful virtual event for activity and life enrichment professionals in senior living. The Summit returns this year as a way to continue to acknowledge, educate and empower activity and life enrichment professionals. Participants will be able to learn what the state of resident engagement is in 2024 and beyond, explore best practices and understand long-lasting trends that impact how we build person-centered experiences for older adults. This event is hosted and managed by the #ActivitiesStrong initiative, led by Linked Senior in partnership with Activity Connection, The National Association of Activity Professionals (NAAP) and the National Certification Council for Activity Professionals (NCCAP). Participants who attend the live event can earn up to 6 CEU credits.
