Public Policy Fly-In

February 24-25, 2026

Washington, DC

Unmatched Access to Lawmakers in Washington

The Argentum Public Policy Fly-in has been completely reimagined to do one thing: give senior living professionals direct access to Congressional offices so your voice, and your residents’ needs, are clearly heard on Capitol Hill. This isn’t a passive “sit and listen” conference. It’s a hands-on experience that is designed to prepare you and your team to advocate on Capitol Hill for the future of senior living.

Affordable and accessible care is one of the most pressing policy conversations in the country, and senior living is at the center. That’s why Argentum redesigned the Public Policy Fly-in to:

  • Prioritize face time with congressional teams and key policymakers
  • Elevate real-world experiences of executive directors and community leaders
  • Turn your day-to-day challenges into compelling stories and data that resonate on the Hill
  • Equip your entire organization with the tools to be stronger, more effective advocates

Congressional Meetings

Capitol Hill

Now is the time to tell our story, and Argentum Advocates will take their advocacy directly to Capitol Hill. Meeting with Members of Congress provides a critical opportunity to share real-world perspectives on how federal policy decisions impact senior living communities, caregivers, residents, and their families. Attendees will reinforce senior living priorities, build relationships with policymakers, and position our communities as an essential part of the long-term care continuum. Direct engagement with lawmakers helps ensure our collective voice is heard at the moments when policy decisions are being made.
