Well, I knew our team had been busy...but we woke up one day and had a large number of press releases about retirement relocation, our press coverage and our fantastic upcoming NARA Conference in Columbia, SC at the Convention Center in only 12 DAYS!
Experts from around the United States are flying into Columbia to give us their best tips and information. There is a wide variety of speakers. Here are just a few:
*Dave Reitz of Chicago is an experienced developer/planner with his former boss, Del Webb. He's got a great presentation for builders or proposed builders of active adult housing. He helped planned the ultra successful Sun City Carolina Lakes, which now has about 3,000 residents living on a property that just had a few lakes, some riverfront and a lot of trees just a half dozen years ago.
*Helen Foster of New Orleans has worked for major consumer products firms like Verizon and also has consulted with lots of retirement communities. She also was employed by the State of Louisiana to put a "face" the state to out of state potential retirees. She spent a dozen or so years working with the mega-advertising firm, J. Walter Thompson. And, she is a wonderful presenter. Don't miss her talk at 8:30 a.m. Wed. Oct. 20.
*Colin Milner is a worldwide authority on health and aging based in Vancouver, BC Canada. He'll be talking about how an aging work will change how we live. Colin's reputation is stellar and this will be a rare opportunity to hear him in person.
*Dr. Simon Hudson has been called one of the world's foremost authorities on tourism. USC hired him from the University of Calgary to head up its Center for Economic Excellence in Tourism. It just so happens that marketing to the older adult traveler - the "zoomer" - is a topic that Simon has done extensive recent research into. Don't miss hearing Simon's take on the boomer market and what it can mean to towns and regions that market tourism/retirement.
