Events & webinars
Learn together, in person and online
ETE runs a two-day professional-development conference for caregiving teams, and free educational webinars for families navigating care for an older loved one.
The caregiver conference
A conference built to thank your team
Give the caregivers on your team a chance to learn skills that help your organization grow — and reduce turnover while you're at it. Over six hours of in-person, competency-based training, plus online training, covers the annual caregiver training requirement.
- A two-day conference at the Kalahari Resort and Conference Center
- Hotel room included, sleeping up to six at no extra charge
- Water park passes for you and up to five family or friends
- Dinner on night one, plus breakfast, lunch and snacks on day two
- An opening-night dinner honoring the caregiving team
- Floating round-table discussions with peers from other communities
Conferences run periodically. Ask us about the next one and we will let you know when scheduling and registration open.
Navigating care options for your loved one
A free webinar for families with a loved one over 60 who needs more care than they're getting now, led by Stephanie Berman, RN, MSN. Sessions run through the year — ask us when the next one is, or to arrange one for your community.
What the session covers
- The six primary models of care, and how to know which is right for you
- Nursing homes, long-term care and skilled nursing centers — the difference
- Hospice and palliative care — when each is needed
- Assisted living, independent living and memory care — are they the same?
- The role of families, and why you are critical to your loved one's care
- Laws, agencies and licensure you need to make an informed decision
- Costs and insurance — resources and options to consider
- Least restrictive environments, independence and dignity

Sponsorship puts your organization in front of the caregiving teams and community leaders who attend. Packages range from web and email placement through to naming a session or the opening-night event, and we build them around what you want to reach. Get in touch and we will send the current options.
