2027 Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO

How it compares

LeadingAge Annual Meeting widens the frame beyond Texas. Its E2 expo combines suppliers with hands-on experiences, research and themed gathering spaces, making it a useful choice for teams comparing the broader aging services market. A company seeking customers across several states has a different reason to invest there than a supplier building relationships with Texas nonprofit communities. The Texas conference concentrates those state relationships within an education program closely tied to day-to-day provider work.

LeadingAge Leadership Summit serves a more executive agenda in Washington. Organizational resilience, workforce strategy, growth, technology and board health sit alongside federal advocacy and Lobby Day. It suits a leadership team that wants to compare strategic decisions with national peers or work on policy. LeadingAge Texas gives a wider operational team a reason to travel together, with clinical, community experience and management tracks as well as the supplier floor.

For a Texas life plan community, the attraction is the combination of peers and practical vendors in one association setting. Pharmacy, dining, rehabilitation, financial advice and building design all appeared in the last supplier list. Those are connected operating decisions, and the conference provides a place to discuss them across disciplines. The national meeting adds breadth; the summit adds executive and policy depth; Texas offers a concentrated regional provider network.

LeadingAge Texas is the right trip for nonprofit aging services teams and suppliers whose next decisions depend on relationships with Texas providers.

Who exhibits

The 2026 supplier list connected clinical systems with the business of running a community. PointClickCare and Yardi sat alongside Ben E. Keith Company, Pi Architects and Ziegler, spanning care technology, dining supply, design and finance. Pharmacy and rehabilitation were substantial parts of the category list too. This is a floor for comparing services across a provider organization, with resident care and community operations in the same conversation.

Exhibiting

Exhibiting requires approved business membership and a separate booth registration. Standard and premium booths include basic equipment and two full-conference registrations; full-booth floor covering must be ordered separately through Superior Expo Services. The Executive Level Exchange and attendee service-interest matching suit suppliers selling across senior management and operating teams. Space selection follows registration priority, while a Featured Booth Experience requires advance approval.
