GSLA 2026 Annual Conference & Trade Show

Registration opens in June

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 5:00 PM (EDT) to Friday, October 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

Every story has a beginning. A moment that brought you to this work, a resident who changed how you see it, a colleague who reminded you why it matters. In senior living, those stories don't just shape individuals - they shape an entire industry.

At the 2026 GSLA Conference & Trade Show, Every Story is our celebration of the people behind this profession and the experiences that define it -  the hard ones, the joyful ones, and the quietly profound ones that stay with you. Every role in our industry carries a story worth telling, and Every Story belongs in this conversation.

Join us as professionals from across Georgia and the country come together to learn, connect, and be reminded that the work we do - and the stories we carry - move us forward. Every Story.

NAB Approval: Pending
