Theme:  The Retirement Roadmap: Reflect, Plan, And Start

Conference Overview

Adjusting to retirement has its share of challenges. The idea of not having to work and doing things you are passionate about is very attractive, but only until you get to that stage. At this point, you come face to face with the issues of boredom, loss of identity and loneliness.  Inconsistent cashflow and age-related frailties limit the hobbies and other activities you thought you would finally get a chance to indulge in. This Retirement planning conference is intended to help one assess his or her readiness to retire at a desired age and lifestyle. It further provides an opportunity for one to identify actions to improve readiness to retire, acquire financial knowledge and encourage saving practices.

In this conference, we support officers by offering an opportunity to plan positively for the next stage of their life, whether they are only considering when and how they will retire, or whether retirement is more immediate. Delegates will gain a better understanding of retirement, planning for retirement, investing, health and wellbeing, estate management and wills and self-reengineering for a comfortable retirement.

Whatever challenges they face as they prepare for this new chapter in life, the tips from this conference can help them ease the transition, reduce stress and anxiety, and find new meaning and purpose in life.
