As the senior housing and care sector navigates a period of shifting capital markets, evolving global trade dynamics, and changing consumer behavior, understanding the broader economic context is more essential than ever. In this timely keynote, a leading economist will unpack the forces reshaping both the U.S. and global economies—from interest rate trends and labor market pressures to geopolitical risks and capital availability. Learn how these macroeconomic shifts impact investment, development, and operational strategy within the senior living sector. Attendees will gain insights to help them adapt, anticipate change, and position their organizations for resilience and growth in an increasingly complex economic environment.
