The Empire State Association of Assisted Living is pleased to announce that our 31st Annual Conference & Trade Show will be held from Sunday, May 2, through Wednesday, May 5, 2010 in the city of Saratoga Springs, NY, located in the scenic foothills of the Adirondacks. The Saratoga Hilton Hotel will be our host hotel, which is conveniently located on the main street of the city and provides a safe and pedestrian-friendly access to many shops and restaurants.

The Conference theme is “Racing for Success & Taking the Lead”, an appropriate fit for the city’s feature attraction, the Saratoga Race Course. Racing since 1863, Saratoga is North America’s oldest racetrack. Nicknamed “The Graveyard of Favorites”, Saratoga’s course is the most difficult place to win. Over the years, many legends such as Man of War and Secretariat were defeated there.

Now, ESAAL’s Conference & Education Committee has taken the challenge! We’re offering training to assist you in facing the challenges of your job and personal development. Here’s a list of some of the “hot topics” to be covered in our educational programs:
