Overview

The Financial Services Council invites you to a timely event bringing together leading industry voices in superannuation, investment, advice and innovation. Innovation in Retirement 2025 is a full-day forum dedicated to the future of retirement in Australia, set against a backdrop of significant demographic, economic and regulatory change.
 
Through expert keynotes, strategic panels and real-world case studies, the program will examine the structural shifts reshaping retirement: from evolving member expectations and advice delivery models to the rise of private market investment, longevity-focused product design, fintech and AI, and the implementation of the Retirement Income Covenant and other obligations.
 
Within the next decade, over 2.5 million Australians are expected to retire. This event offers timely insights into the technologies, behaviours and policies redefining the sector as it caters to this new wave of retirees. Participants will walk away with practical knowledge to inform strategy, investment and product design, supported by high-level networking with senior industry stakeholders.
 
Now is the time to lead with innovation, challenge existing thinking and help shape a more sustainable retirement system for the future.
