AI-drafted summary

The LeadingAge Leadership Summit (also referred to as the LeadingAge Peak Leadership Summit) is an annual gathering for executives and senior leaders in the aging services sector. The Summit convenes thought leaders from across the aging services sector for mission-critical conversations, bringing together providers, businesses, and policy experts for three days of keynotes, education sessions, VIP discussions, and meetings on Capitol Hill.

The Summit is designed especially for executives of aging services organizations, including CEOs, presidents, vice presidents, and other senior-level influencers, as well as business leaders who are helping create the future of the sector. Each year, more than 700 aging professionals join LeadingAge in Washington, DC to find solutions to today's challenges and plan for tomorrow, empower staff and streamline operations, and connect with executive peers and influence policymakers.

A distinctive feature is its advocacy focus. Central to the purpose of the Summit is its annual Lobby Day, held on the final day, when more than 200 aging advocates visit Capitol Hill each year for hundreds of meetings with members of Congress. For senior-living and long-term-care leaders, it combines high-level education, peer networking, and direct policy engagement in one program.
