Better Futures
13 September 2017 | 08.30 - 17.00hrs
We’re all living longer. Robots are transforming the workplace. Algorithms are replacing intuition.
Disease could become a thing of the past. So, is the future going to be a utopian dream or a dystopian nightmare?
We're delighted to share our thought-provoking agenda and exciting speaker line up.
The action we take today as individuals, businesses and public policy bodies will determine the kind of world the next generation will inherit.
Better Futures is a one-day conference hosted by Hymans Robertson, bringing together speakers from a range of highly-relevant disciplines, to take an in-depth look at the emerging challenges we will face in the decades to come. We will debate the impact artificial intelligence could have on health and longevity, the workforce and both state and individual finances. We will examine the implications of our actions today on everything from economic distribution, to healthcare provision through to savings and protection.
What do the next generation expect from the future?
We asked some children what they think the world will be like when they grow up. Our experts have some surprising insights into how life might change in the years to come.
1. If we're all living longer, how do we avoid becoming a financial burden on our children?
2. How can we prepare today for a future where robots can do most jobs?
3. Can we really afford the cost of living longer lives?
Who should attend this event?
- Those with an interest in long-term savings: how can we harness technology to solve the savings and demographic challenges we face; and what products or solutions could meaningfully fill the gaps?
- Those with an interest in health and longevity: what advances in medicine are most likely to emerge and what will this do to life expectancy?
- Policy makers: how do we ensure we’re prepared for potentially seismic changes ranging from Artificial Intelligence to huge spikes in longevity? How do we avoid placing a heavy a burden on future generations?
- Employers: come and debate the ways these shifts will impact your workforce.
