ARCO What Next? Annual Conference - July

We are thrilled to announce that the ARCO What Next? 2026 Annual conference returns in July for its 10th Edition and booking is now open!

What really matters - and the questions we need to ask

At ARCO’s 10th Annual Conference this July, join us for a data-driven deep dive into the questions that truly matter, as the sector reflects on the big trends for the next 10 years.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Key customer wants - and needs
• How meeting customers’ wants and needs leads to sustainable business models
• How has the sector responded so far - and what innovation lies ahead?

We’ll tackle the most pressing challenges - and opportunities - facing the sector today, including the risk and reward of care delivery, and discuss how these feed into key business decisions grounded in data.

We’re also delighted to welcome our international guest speaker, Andrew Carle, who will share insights into the rapid growth of University Retirement Communities (URCs) in the US - and how they are giving both alumni and universities a powerful new lease of life.

We can’t wait to bring together leaders from across the sector for two days of inspiring content and valuable networking opportunities.

Further details on the conference agenda and guest speakers will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

We look forward to seeing you in July!
