Members providing senior housing and assisted living services will find plenty of education sessions of particular interest to them at the Convention this year.  The Convention Registration Book identifies nearly 40 sessions specifically targeted to housing and assisted living managers.  Be sure to review other session descriptions as well, as there will be many other general audience and specific topic presentations that will be pertinent.

The Hyatt Regency is still accepting reservations at the Care Providers of Minnesota room block rate, so if you haven’t made reservations yet, take advantage of this small window to make reservations at our reduced room rates.  You can make reservations online HERE, or call the Hyatt directly at 612-370-1234.
