The retirement landscape of tomorrow will look nothing like the past 30 years. Canadians are living longer, family and work patterns are shifting, and expectations around flexibility and the employee experience continue to rise. Technology is rapidly reshaping how we work, live, and retire, introducing both new risks and powerful tools for retirement programs. Add to that mounting pressures from affordability, regulation, and financial literacy, and it is clear the system we rely on today will need to adapt if it is going to work for the next generation.

This session is about looking ahead. Together, we will explore what the future of retirement might hold, the challenges already on the horizon, and the opportunities to rethink how plans are designed and delivered. Expect thought-provoking questions, lively discussion, and a chance to imagine what comes next for Canada’s retirement system.

You will come away with fresh insights, informed by both expert speakers and your peers, that can help you prepare your organization and your members for the road ahead.

Networking is central to this event. After the presentations, you will take part in facilitated roundtables designed to spark ideas and surface diverse perspectives, followed by a reception with drinks and appetizers where you can continue the conversation and build connections within our retirement community.
