One More Round at Your Hundred Year Life.

By longevity 21st Century, , , ,

Coming soon on Feb.6, 2023, Your Hundred Year Life a new documentary produced by Dutch entrepreneur and academic Dr. Theo Kocken; with its premier screening in Canada at University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

Billed here as A Film About Rethinking Ageing in The 21st Century, you can Register Here for this In-Person and Virtual event which will feature after the film showing, a panel discussion and, if you are there in person there will be a reception.

Over the many years I’ve attended Rotman events, I’ve always found them to be value priced, well organized and presented with top quality thought provoking speakers.

This one is no different, co-presented by Canada’s National Institute on Ageing and KPA Advisory Services, a pension design, investing, governance consultancy.

 

KPA co-founder Keith Ambachtsheer will be the moderator of the panel which includes the filmmaker Theo Kocken and the following:

Jen Recknagel, Director, Innovation & Design, NORC Innovation Centre, University Health Network.

Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Geriatrics at Sinai Health & University Health Network, Director of Health Policy Research, National Institute on Ageing

Lisa Taylor, CEO of Challenge Factory, Associate Fellow at that National Institute on Ageing and author of The Talent Revolution: Longevity & the Future of Work

Go to the Your Hundred Year Life website and view the short trailer for the film, and you will quickly get the general direction of where this discussion lifts off from – a financial narrative – where, as the website states, “…Theo Kocken stages a mind-blowing representation of the parlous state of old-age provision.” As the Rotman registration intro further asks, “What do governments, pensions funds, social support programs, corporations and other communities need to understand to best adapt to the coming future?”

One more round of the discussion in our ongoing musing on what we do about the promise of longevity, living a longer life. This takes me back to my first round with the 2016 book The 100-Year Life by Lynda Gratton & Andrew Scott, which feels like a pre-pandemic life-time ago; and I think I even spied a quick shot of Lynda Gratton in the trailer for this documentary.

Meanwhile as I wait to report back on this event sometime in February, I have my ticket for the Virtual version and though that doesn’t include the In Person reception, at least, though the LIVE version doesn’t specify it will, I may have a pre-prandial cocktail.
