2026 Annual Conference

We are innovators, catalysts, advocates, and visionaries.  Across our state we are not just responding to change—we are leading it. LeadingAge Illinois members challenge assumptions, remove obstacles, and drive meaningful change across aging services.

This year’s conference theme—Changemakers—celebrates the bold spirit that drives our field forward. It’s about those who dare to ask what’s possible and then roll up their sleeves to make it real. It’s about pushing past what has been to create what can be—for our organizations, our teams and the people we serve.  We are advancing careers, strengthening communities, and reimagining aging services with courage and purpose.

Where do changemakers gather to recharge, refocus, and rise to what’s next?
