European Conference

Open exclusively to our European Network, this conference focuses on the unique challenges and opportunities facing ageing services providers in Europe.

Brussels, Belgium hosted the first conference in 2006 where the topic was multiculturalism in European aged care from the perspective of consumers and providers.

The second European conference was held 22-23 May 2008 and addressed a range of critical aged-care topics including programme innovation, the frontline workforce, and leadership development. Attendees participated in a diverse programme that included keynote presentations, panel discussions, facilitated roundtables, and social events.
