Environments for Aging - Summer 2021 - 8

SHOW TALK
Now and later
We're somehow living in the present and the
future at once By Kristin D. Zeit
EFA Expo & Conference is finally here again,
after a too-long hiatus. Planning has required
navigating an obstacle course of shifting
protocols and planning challenges, plus a
whole lot of hard work and creative thinking.
Hopefully, you'll be with us in Chattanooga
to see how it all comes together in person.
We're pretty excited about the session lineup,
the keynote speakers, and the exhibitor offerings-and
you can learn more about these in
the pages of this issue.
If you're still on the fence about traveling to
an in-person event right now, might I humbly
suggest a road trip? That's my strategy: The
drive from my home in Cincinnati to Chattanooga
should clock in at around six hours,
along scenic, summer-lush roadways. It will
allow me to avoid connecting flights through
crowded airports, I can come and go when
I'm ready, and no one will glare at me when I
sing at the top of my lungs. Maybe truckers.
But a road trip might not be an option for
you, either, and we get it. All along we've
planned for a slightly smaller crowd this year
due to continued travel restrictions and budget
considerations. So, if you just can't make
it, there's good news: The next EFA Expo &
Conference will be here before we know it.
The 2021 show planning has been
stretched out over 28 long months, but as
is the way in the " time is relative " pandemic
era, now our team has seven months before
hosting EFA Expo 2022. Bring it on! We're
actually well on our way already, with the
educational session proposals pouring in
and being prepped for our conference jury
to review. The floor plan for the expo hall is
laid out, and exhibitors will be able to choose
their spots very soon. And we're digging into
our research on local venues and potential
senior living tours around our 2022 host city:
Milwaukee!
If you've never been to this charming
Midwest city, you're in for a treat. So put it
on your calendar now to join us April 3-5,
2022, at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee.
If I don't see you in Chattanooga, I'll hope
to see you there-and if I'm really lucky, we
can raise a toast to the future of senior living
at both. EFA
