Errol Barnett, Marc Freedman, Sherry Lansing, Philip Pizzo, Lynda Resnick, Mike Shaw

This panel discusses the "longevity revolution" driven by rising life expectancies and shifting demographics that render the traditional life stages obsolete, featuring insights from leaders like Sherry Lansing and Linda Resnick. The speakers highlight systemic ageism and gender bias while championing a new "encore career" model that leverages 250 million years of human capital for social impact. Furthermore, the discussion outlines a forward-looking framework emphasizing intergenerational synergy, purpose-driven living, and the creation of new social institutions to support a population increasingly defined by decades of post-retirement life.
