title: Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier (ILTCI Conference update)
description: Earlier this week LTCI Partners attended the Intercompany LTC Insurance Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Despite the fact that LTC Sales were down 20% last year, this year’s meeting had record attendance.  There is a lot of optimism about the future of the business despite the current issues, and a lot of really smart people are working on this issue of making LTC Insurance sustainable for carriers while being obtainable by the people who need to plan.

A couple weeks ago LTCI Partners attended the Intercompany Long-Term Care Insurance Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Despite the fact that LTC Sales were down 20% last year, this year’s meeting had record attendance.  There is a lot of optimism about the future of the business despite the current issues, and a lot of really smart people are working on this issue of making long-term care solutions sustainable for carriers while being obtainable by the people who need to plan. 

This year LTCI Partners participated in several speaking sessions. Steve Cain and Jerry Manning lead "The Group LTCI Marketplace" breakout -- they talked about trends in worksite LTC insurance and how it is changing. Dowonload their group presentation.  You can also view all the presentations [here](http://www.iltciconf.org/ppts.htm).
