Spotlight on Retirement

About this event

More than 200,000 Australians retire each year, and the expectations of tomorrow’s retirees are shifting fast. ASFA’s Spotlight on Retirement returns in June 2026 to unpack what members really want from their retirement and to explore the innovative solutions shaping the future of the system.

An expert lineup of speakers will explore topics including:

  • Demographic insights into Australia’s generations
  • Personalising the member advice and retirement journey
  • How innovative advice tools, including AI, can lift retirement outcomes
  • Designing better retirement pathways for members
  • The practicalities of bringing lifetime income solutions to market

 

Limited tickets at early-bird rates are available until 19 May. ASFA members enjoy the advantage of these rates on top of their already reduced member rates.

We look forward to welcoming you as we explore how the industry is navigating an evolving retirement landscape and how we can collectively deliver stronger outcomes for members.
