Join us for the LeadingAge Minnesota's 2024 Institute & Expo in St. Paul.

We revamped this year’s Institute to offer two days packed with education, networking opportunities, and the largest aging services expo in the state. We value your time, which is why we have condensed our events to two days instead of three while still providing you with the same valuable knowledge and information you need to serve older adults.
