Hello again and apologies for the late listing of the event. I hope it doesn't prevent people from attending. This time we will be discussing the implications of an ageing population. As increasing money pours into this sector we can be sure that many advances will follow. But are we allowing for sufficient time to debate the ethics of such a reality? There will be so much to talk about. Topics like

The Sustainability of Pension
Healthcare Costs and Allocation
The Future of Work and Productivity
The Burden on Caregivers
The Impact on Family Structures

To name but just a few!

I'm not sure where we will even begin.

As always no expertise is required we just ask that you bring yourself and your ideas. And remember to be respectful and open. minded to those who might look at things differently.
