Prominent leaders including Sherry Lansing, Philip Pizzo, and Linda Resnick advocate redefining aging from retirement to a continuous phase of "rewiring" driven by purpose, community, and wellness. Their discourse highlights how demographic shifts projecting life expectancies over 90 and rising populations over 60 necessitate a societal overhaul where older adults leverage their experience for cross-generational service and economic contribution. Ultimately, the panelists argue that resilience, intergenerational solidarity, and the active pursuit of meaningful work are essential to navigating this extended life course effectively.

The Influencers: How Increasing Longevity Will Shape Our World
Paula Kerger, Marc Freedman, Linda Fried, Ai-jen Poo, Nora Super
A panel of experts addresses the critical demographic shift toward an aging population, highlighting the economic potential of a 25-million-strong "second act" workforce and the systemic gaps in caregiving infrastructure. The discussion contrasts outdated retirement models with emerging intergenerational strategies, such as formalized "gap years" for older adults and technological integration in home care, while noting the urgency of reforming Medicare and Social Security to sustain these changes. By framing longevity as a collective national opportunity rather than a burden, the session urges policymakers to adopt new life-stage categories and invest equally in the quality of extended lives alongside longevity itself.
