As we approach Valentine’s Day and the Month of Love, we are delighted to invite Avivah Wittenberg-Cox—renowned speaker, author, consultant, and CEO of 20-first —to challenge our thinking on love and relationships.

In her groundbreaking book, “Late Love: Mating in Maturity” Avivah explores why, in the era of the 100-year life, we should aim higher than “adequate” marriages in our later years, putting the same effort into personal relationships as we have into our careers. And if they no longer work, then we should leap unconventionally and aspirationally, at a last chance at love.

A leading gender and generational expert, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox frames her reflections in the context of an unprecedented, millennial shift in gender relations and global demographics. As women’s educational, social and economic empowerment increases, they continue to demand more for the world – and from their partners. At every age and stage. This has risks and opportunities for us, for our children and our grandchildren (if our kids decide to have any).

As the number of late leavers and lovers swells, their thirst for more is redefining what relationships look like in a greying, gender-balancing world. And it looks pretty good.

Avivah will speak about her work and her book, after which there will be an opportunity for comments and questions.

Book now for this enlightening discussion that promises to inspire reflection and spark conversation about our later life relationships.
