What to Expect

See what made 2025 such a success — and what’s coming next in 2026.

An Expo Built to Empower Australians

The Retirement, Leisure & Health Expo was created to help Australians design their retirement on their own terms.

Whether you’re planning ahead or already enjoying retirement, there’s a lot to consider — finances, health, lifestyle, purpose, and connection. Our 2025 Sydney Expo brought together trusted experts, inspiring speakers, and engaged attendees for two powerful days of conversations and discovery.

And we’re coming back to Sydney on 14th and 15th November 2026.

Who Should Attend

This event is perfect if you’re:

Starting to think about retirement, even if it’s still a few years away.

Still working, but want clarity on super, aged care, or life after full-time work.

Part of The Sandwich Generation, juggling work, ageing parents, and your future.

Retired, and seeking more information on purpose, travel, or lifestyle.

It’s never too early — or too late — to start planning, or enjoying your ideal retirement.

Meet the Founder

Marc Bineham, author of The Money Sandwich and former National President of the Financial Advice Association of Australia, started this Expo with one goal in mind — to empower Australians approaching retirement to take control.

“Retirement isn’t a one size fits all. For some, it’s travel, for others, it’s continuing to work, caring for family, or downsizing. There’s a lot to think about — and this Expo helps people make sense of it all, all in one place.”
