Topics, sessions and talks
There is a critical need for businesses to develop an age strategy as a cornerstone of their growth initiatives. With the working-age population projected to shrink by 25% over the next 25 years while the over-60 demographic is set to grow by 40%, organisations face unprecedented challenges. Lyndsey Simpson outlines how to engage this experienced workforce to harness their potential, ensuring companies not only survive but thrive in a changing landscape.
Lyndsey Simpson explores the challenges associated with an ageing workforce and how organisations can proactively address them including effective strategies for reskilling, retaining talent, and fostering an inclusive culture that leverages the experience of older employees. By prioritising an age-inclusive approach, businesses can overcome obstacles and unlock the full potential of their workforce.
Lyndsey Simpson explores youth bias when targeting older consumers, highlighting the disparity between the age of professionals and the experience needed to connect with this demographic. By addressing ageism in hiring and marketing strategies, businesses can leverage the knowledge and insights of older talent. Creating an inclusive workforce allows organisations to better meet the needs of an ageing customer base, driving long-term success.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more.
