The NRLS24 was an important event that provided very good optics into the current and future direction of the sector through senior thought leaders. It helped to inform our business planning for the next financial year through considered and relevant growth data, and metrics. In addition, it provided an important gathering of knowledgeable people from numerous areas of the sector to get real world insights.

The summit is a fabulous opportunity to look up and get out of the weeds of operations.

I attended the National Retirement Living Summit in 2024 and found it to be an excellent conference. The opportunity to meet like-minded people in a very dynamic industry was great. Also, the quality of the speakers was excellent, very relevant and topical. They brought some information for us to think about and to apply to our business, and the opportunity to engage with suppliers and sponsors with products that are very relevant was also beneficial.
