    If your community holds a license — Assisted Living, Behavioral Health, or Skilled Nursing, Hospice or Adult Day— this one's for you. We're bringing the regulators and the innovators into the same room for a full day built around what's actually changing in your world.

    The morning opens with the NCIA Board walking through new educational requirements and what they mean for your teams. From there, we're thrilled to welcome PainChek, a company doing extraordinary work helping caregivers recognize pain in people who can't tell you where it hurts. This matters everywhere — dementia care, adult day, hospitals, any setting where communication is a barrier to good care. If you've ever wondered whether someone is in pain and had no way to know for sure, this session is going to change how your team approaches that question.

    In the afternoon, Deputy Director Odette Colburn and her team from licensing will spend the full afternoon walking through licensing updates. Wherever you sit on the licensing spectrum, this is the room to be in.

    Why Attend? You’ll walk away with:

    • Actionable strategies you can use immediately
    • Clarity operational risk areas
    • Practical insights
    • Peer learning and connection with leaders across the continuum

    Program Schedule:

    Morning Session: The NCIA Board with Nina Louis, Becky Hill, Dena Benjamin

    The NCIA Board will be discussing new educational requirements and what they mean for providers and care teams.

    Afternoon Session:  David Allsopp

    David has two decades experience in the aged care industry, originally starting out his career as a Physiotherapist. Over the last decade, David has held Senior Business Development and Leadership roles in the aged care sector and healthcare space, with the last 8 years in the role of Heads of Business Development Globally for PainChek and has recently relocated from Sydney Australia, stepping into the General Manager role to lead the North American business.

    A passion for improving care and assisting in business outcomes has seen David work closely with large listed, church, and charitable and private organizations. David prides himself on establishing trusting, transparent and long-standing relationships in the healthcare space.

    Closing Session: AZDHS Bureau Chief, Assisted Living Facilities Licensing, with Tiffany Slater and Odette Colburn.

    The team will lead an extended conversation on licensing and compliance updates. Wherever you fall on the licensing spectrum, this is an opportunity to engage directly with state leaders.

                      Hospice of the Valley Dementia Care Campus

                      Non-Member: $386.25 paying online

                      This one's for the people doing the human side of care every day. Hospice of the Valley kicks things off with dementia programming and training, followed by Oakwood Creative sharing how they infuse joy into every level of adult day programming — a lesson that translates to any setting, any level of care.

                      We're also excited to welcome Geri Gadgets, whose founder will share an incredibly simple, inexpensive tool that's making a real difference for communities working with residents living with dementia.

                      And because you can't talk about the future of this work without talking about HR1 — we've brought in our friends from AHCCCS the Rural Health Grant Transformation program, and the Governor's Office to break down what's actually coming. Even if you think HR1 doesn't touch your organization, it does. This session covers what to watch, how it's going to hit your operations, and what HR directors and anyone working with Medicaid-involved residents need to know now. This is the kind of session you plan around, not one you catch the recap of later.

                      Why Attend? You’ll walk away with:

                      • Actionable strategies you can use immediately
                      • Clarity on expectations and operational risk areas
                      • Practical insights
                      • Peer learning and connection with leaders across the continuum

                      Program Schedule:

                      Hospice of the Valley — Dementia training

                      Oakwood Creative — Joy Theory

                      GeriGadgets — Product presentation/demonstration

                      Afternoon: HR1 Updates with Governor’s Office or AHCCCS
