About the Conference
Since 2002, the Association of Long Term Care for Elderly In Chinese Communities has organized the World Congress on Long-Term Care of Chinese Communities in a different region or city each year to promote the development of long-term care services across Chinese communities. The Congress has been held in Hong Kong (2002, 2011 and 2018), Taipei (2004, 2009 and 2015), Shanghai (2005, 2010 and 2024), Macao (2006, 2013 and 2023), Beijing (2007 and 2016), Hangzhou (2012 and 2019), Ningbo (2014) and Yantai (2017). Each Congress has welcomed more than 500 scholars, policymakers, long-term care service providers and other experts from government, industry, academia and research across numerous regions, cities and countries, generating a strong response throughout the long-term care field.
