The Future of Ageing 2023 conference, themed "An Age of Possibilities," will feature an address by Andrew Goodacre, CEO of the British Independent Retailers Association (Bira). The event, scheduled to be held at the Wellcome Collection in London, will feature a stellar lineup of high-profile speakers and experts, all convened to discuss the critical role of demographic change and the future of ageing in the United Kingdom.
The conference will be organized by the International Longevity Centre (ILC), the UK's leading authority on demographic change, and will mark the launch of the highly-anticipated Longevity White Paper, a solutions-focused document aimed at identifying the necessary changes to harness the opportunities presented by our extended lifespans.
The Future of Ageing: Charting a Course for the Future
As the world grapples with an ageing population, the Future of Ageing conference is poised to be a pivotal platform for addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with this demographic shift. It will highlight how the decisions to be made in the lead-up to the next General Election and beyond will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of ageing in the UK.
The Longevity White Paper
The Longevity White Paper, set to be unveiled at the conference, will offer a comprehensive roadmap for addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with an ageing population. It will cover areas such as healthcare, social care, housing, and, significantly, the role of businesses and retailers in providing products and services tailored to older consumers.
A Call to Action
The Future of Ageing 2023 conference will serve as a wake-up call to policymakers, businesses, and the public to proactively address the evolving needs and aspirations of an ageing population. The insights to be shared by Mr. Goodacre and other prominent speakers will serve as a catalyst for change and innovation in multiple sectors.
As the United Kingdom looks ahead to the next General Election and beyond, the decisions will shape the landscape of an ageing society. The Longevity White Paper and the conversations at the Future of Ageing conference will play a critical role in informing and influencing those decisions.
