DAY 2 FEATURED SPEAKER

Louie Gravance

Unlocking the Potential of Service as a Superpower

Day 2 of #HCAOA2026 will kick off with insights from the longtime Disney executive credited with building the training behind Disney's legendary "magical" guest experiences.

Louie's session reframes something every agency owner wrestles with: How do you get your team to believe in service excellence, not just perform it?

"If you are serious about growing as a leader in the home care profession, the HCAOA National Home Care Conference is a must-attend event. It's one of the few places where owners, operators, innovators, and frontline leaders all come together to share ideas, tackle common challenges, and learn from one another. You'll gain practical insights, build meaningful relationships, and return home with new energy and perspective. It has been one of the most valuable professional investments I make each year."

— Bob Roth, Managing Partner, Cypress Home Care Solutions

"The amount of vendors! It's the best place to get options on the same product, with scheduling software, insurance benefits, new AI options all in a one-stop shop. You put on one of the best conferences of the year. I am never disappointed."

— Tricia Wingerter, Owner, Visiting Angels

"This was first my year and it was SPECTACULAR. I will be back."

— 2024 attendee

"As a franchise owner, I used to think there wasn't much more I could learn beyond what our brand already provides. But stepping outside of the franchising world and into the broader HCAOA community expanded my perspective in ways I didn't expect. I left the conference with expanded vision, renewed energy, and a deeper commitment to growth — not just for my agency, but for myself as a leader."

— Jenny Cambra, Owner, Senior Helpers Honolulu

"The overall engagement of people at the event was higher than most I've been to. Most attendees appeared to come with intentions of learning how to help their businesses grow."

— 2024 Exhibitor
