Intrigued by the expo's concept of putting forward all the tools for "Healthy Aging, Perfect Planning and Positive Living," audience members who range in age from 20-something to 70-plus visit the show to get the inside track on living and retiring well.
Says Lynn Chamier, GM of the Retirement Expo, "It really doesn't matter how old you are, what your background, culture, creed or financial status is, the one thing we all have in common is that one day we will retire and when we do, we want to be in good health and retire well."
To cater to the needs and fulfil the expectations of its diverse audience, the exhibitors put forward a display of products and services that run the gamut of retirement options. On show are retirement planning products; lifestyle, health, financial and other services; travel destinations and options; home, lifestyle, health, hobbies and fitness products; anti-aging and optimal nutrition options; retirement properties and facilities and choice vacations.
"The beauty of this show is its ability to demonstrate how rewarding and satisfying retirement can be. It gives young people something to look forward to, to aspire to and to plan for. It offers those nearing retirement or currently retired a host of options to expand their experience and enjoyment of their hard-earned retirement.
"For exhibitors, it gives direct and personal access to an audience that is curious and motivated, and whose buy-in to retiring well is assured by virtue of their attendance."
A happy, fulfilled retirement is the result of planning based on choices made with the full benefit of all the best available information. This information is readily available to expo visitors at the show's free interactive workshops, where experts share their experience, knowledge and insights and answer the audience's questions on topics that hinge on the art of inspiring good health and retiring well.
Edutainment is a major draw card and the expo's designated activity areas serve to entertain while they educate visitors on the many fitness activities and hobby options available.
