Igniting opportunity for senior housing and care.

About This Event
The NIC Fall Conference brings together more than 3,000 senior housing and care leaders, including investors, operators, developers, lenders, and capital partners, for three days of deal-making and market intelligence. More than 70% of attendees are C-suite. NIC has no exhibit hall or booths. Business happens in networking lounges, receptions, and private meetings.
Creston Leifried, President and Owner of Coastal Reconstruction Group, will be in Chicago to meet with operators, REITs, and capital partners about capital improvement programs in occupied communities, post-loss reconstruction, and pre-negotiated Rapid Response agreements for Southeast portfolios. If you'll be at NIC, schedule time with Creston before the conference fills up.
