As the competitive arena continues to become more complex, it is increasingly necessary for competitors to collaborate in order to stay ahead. This trend gives rise not only to opportunities that come with increased collaboration such as efficiency and innovation, but also elevates the risk of potential antitrust violations if collaborating companies engage in prohibited conduct. To ensure adherence with laws while embracing these potential gains from competing through cooperation, one must carefully analyze both their purpose and effects on competition within the senior living industry as they interact with other peers. This webinar provides viewers with techniques to conduct a competitive analysis and collaborate with competitors all while adhering to antitrust laws.

The pandemic changed the senior living industry and Argentum was there, advocating on your behalf to ensure your teams were provided with much needed resources. And as we emerge from the past few years, Argentum, through our Board of Directors and with input from members and key stakeholders has reflected on the future of the senior living industry and launched a strategic plan to assess where we have been and identify where we are going. This webinar will outline the strategic planning process sought to identify emerging trends, headwinds, and tailwinds affecting the senior living industry and details a vision of what the industry could be in the next ten-years.
