​Embracing the Longevity Revolution: Transforming Society for 100+ Year Lives

Explore the unprecedented challenges and opportunities presented by the increase in life expectancy over the past century. While the gift of an extra 30+ years is undoubtedly a testament to medical and societal progress, our current systems are ill-equipped for the era of 100+ year lifespans. Increasing lifespans and aging demographics is not necessarily a looming crisis, but an opportunity for strategic change. This includes redesigning workforce models using innovative approaches and structures to engage talent in new ways to harness the untapped potential of older populations. This session also looks at financial planning, pensions and investment for modern career and retirement journeys.

Takeaways:

 • How longevity and an aging population are reshaping society
 • How to view this as an opportunity for strategic change and growth
 • How we can start radically redesigning society to be longevity ready
