We welcome and encourage all AdvantAge Ontario members as well as speakers in the academic community, consultants and others providing services in the seniors’ care, housing and community services sectors to share innovative and practical ideas and programs, research or other relevant content.

Education Program
Concurrent sessions range from 60, 75 and 90 minutes in length and are organized into the following four streams:
Care and Services
Advancements, best practices and other innovations that improve care and services to residents across long term care, community and housing.
Integration and Collaboration
Integration models, initiatives or projects that coordinate cross-sectoral agencies, programs, services, and care delivery.
Management and Operations
Organization and operational issues, risk/financial management, developing strong and effective staff teams, and health and safety.
Governance and Leadership
Governance perspectives, legislative and legal obligations, funding and reporting, accountability, provincial quality initiatives, leadership development, and public relations and reputation management.
Submissions should incorporate adult learning techniques and interactive presentation methods. Keep in mind that long term care refers to the full continuum – long term care homes, seniors’ housing and supportive housing and community-based services. It should be clear whether your presentation is intended for a specific sector or is broad enough to be applicable to the entire continuum.
