The inaugural Louisville Innovation Summit will convene Tuesday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 13, in Louisville, KY, bringing together the nation's largest senior care providers, top innovators, and industry leaders to redefine the future of quality aging care.
GeriJoy is one of only six companies invited for an Innovator Spotlight and one of only ten exhibitors in the "Entrepreneur's Garage" exposition. Companies were chosen based on how they reflect the conference's core mission: celebrating real innovation in the aging-care space. The selections were made by a former senior editor from Wired.
GeriJoy's CEO Victor Wang will also be speaking on a panel titled "Enhancing the Resident Experience," which will be held at the Nucleus Innovation Park on Tuesday.
