Thank you for your interest in By Design — a conference developed to promote the newest advances and latest thinking in the field of senior living.

We recently concluded our 23rd annual By Design Conference held at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center in February 2008. This year's theme, "Vital Living: Aging in an Active World," inspired and challenged over 200 attendees from across the United States and around the globe to explore the impact of an active aging lifestyle and discover how CCRCs are planning to meet the changing demands of the boomer generation.

Planning for next year's conference is underway — mark February 10th -12th on your calendar for By Design 2009!

If you have any questions, comments or would like to be included on the conference mailing list please contact Jennifer Jacobs at jjacobs@sfcs.com or Erin Hurt at ehurt@sfcs.com, or call us at 1.800.873.2788.
