SenbridGe Day 1: Innovation, Experience & Connection
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | The Omni King Edward Hotel
As we celebrate our 15th year, we’re starting with something special: an exclusive tour of Cogir's Venvi Leaside, one of Toronto's newest and most talked-about senior living communities. Join fellow delegates for a behind-the-scenes look at the community's design, hospitality approach, and resident experience before we head to the Omni King Edward Hotel for the afternoon program.
This year's opening sessions focus on the ideas, technologies, and people helping to reshape aging and care. We'll hear from leaders from Cogir, Schlegel Villages, Sienna Senior Living, Optima Living, and Revera Inc. as they discuss how technology, operations, and leadership are changing the resident experience and helping organizations navigate a rapidly evolving environment.
We're also pleased to welcome back CABHI's Innovation Spotlight and Innovation Showcase, always a conference favourite, featuring emerging companies and practical solutions designed to improve outcomes for residents, team members, operators, and families.
The day also includes a special presentation from Chef Jasper, whose innovative approach to robotics and dining services is generating conversation across the sector.
We'll close with plenty of time to connect, network, and celebrate with peers at Cushman & Wakefield's Opening Cocktail at the Omni King Edward Hotel.
