The $Multi-Trillion Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight

The 50+ market is the next big thing—and most brands are still missing it. Forget the outdated stereotypes. Today’s 50+ population isn’t slowing down—they’re living longer, thinking younger, controlling more than 70% of all U.S. personal wealth, and spending more boldly than ever before. Especially women, who control the lion’s share of household wealth and influence. Yet most businesses are still chasing youth, ignoring the fastest-growing, most financially powerful consumer segment in the country. In this high-energy, insight-rich keynote, Maddy Dychtwald—bestselling author of Ageless Aging and co-founder of Age Wave—unveils why the longevity revolution is a game-changer for businesses you can’t afford to ignore. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world successful brand strategies, Maddy will shift your lens—and inspire new strategies. What your audience will walk away with: • The shifting consumer behaviors and values redefining aging—and why it matters to every industry • Why women 50+ are the most influential—and overlooked—trendsetters in today’s marketplace • What longer lives mean for loyalty, brand strategy, and customer experience • Cautionary tales and smart moves from brands already engaging this powerful demo • Clear, actionable, data-driven strategies to future-proof your growth The Bottom line: This isn’t just a niche. It’s a wide-open, multi-trillion-dollar opportunity—and the brands that serve its needs and dreams will win big. WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING “Maddy was exceptional! She combines research driven data with poignant stories, humor and multi-media that bring the data alive for the audience.” Siobhan Lane, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Gaming Operations N.A “Maddy’s presentation was great!

The New Rules of Retirement: What Today’s Clients Really Want—and Need

Retirement isn’t what it used to be—and it never will be again.

In this eye-opening keynote, Maddy Dychtwald—national bestselling author and co-founder of Age Wave—reveals the latest insights from cutting-edge research on how retirement is changing: its timing, funding, and purpose. With an emphasis on practical application and strategic foresight, Maddy shows how forward-thinking financial professionals can build deeper trust, deliver greater value, and help clients navigate this new chapter with confidence. What Your Audience Will Learn: • Why financial peace of mind has overtaken wealth accumulation as the #1 retirement priority—and how to help clients achieve it • What’s keeping pre-retirees and retirees up at night—and how to turn anxiety into action • How generational generosity is reshaping family wealth planning and creating hidden risks – and how to avoid them • Why caregiving is a growing financial disruptor—and how to prepare clients for it • The untapped power of purpose in retirement—and how to integrate it into planning conversations The Bottom Line: Retirement is no longer a wind-down—it’s a reinvention. Financial professionals who grasp the new rules will deepen relationships, future-proof their value, stand out in a competitive landscape, and recharge their business. Those who don’t could be left behind. WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING “Maddy was exceptional!
