The Green House Project and Pioneer Network communities will once again come together for the annual Center for Innovation conference, coming to Grand Rapids, Mich. November 11-13, 2024!
For three days, forward-thinking leaders, academics, advocates, caregivers, and elders will gather together for education and inspiration — all under the conference theme of Grow Bolder.
No matter your role in the eldercare sector, there’s something for you at the 2024 CFI conference! Our speakers will cover topics including:
- Cultural transformation of traditional eldercare communities
- Workforce recruitment, retention, and development
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion for all
- Using technology to enhance, not replace, person-directed care
- Innovative new care models
- And so much more!
Register today for the lowest early bird rates, explore the full agenda, and stay tuned throughout the summer for more information about our exciting keynote speaker, networking opportunities, after-hours fun, and more. We can’t wait to see you in Grand Rapids this fall!
Conference Highlight: Thome Rivertown Site Visit
The main conference lasts from November 11-13, but we’re offering a special opportunity for people who stay through November 14: a site visit to Thome Rivertown, a unique community in Detroit that combines Green House homes, assisted and independent living, and PACE day services in a single full-continuum care center.
You’ll travel by bus from Grand Rapids to the Motor City and spend the day learning about Thome Rivertown’s pioneering new care model. Then, you’ll have the option of taking the bus back to either Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) or Grand Rapids for your return travel.
