About the Expo

Practical solutions for financial security and dignity.

The Retirement & Lifestyle Expo Botswana 2026 is Botswana's premier exhibition and conference dedicated to helping individuals prepare for, transition into, and enjoy a secure and fulfilling retirement.

Bringing together pension funds, pension fund administrators, financial institutions, insurance providers, healthcare professionals, property developers, legal experts, government agencies, and lifestyle brands, the Expo offers practical solutions to the financial, health, housing, wellness, and lifestyle needs of current and future retirees.

It provides a unique platform where visitors can learn from experts, discover products and services, receive professional advice, and connect with organizations committed to improving retirement outcomes. Whether you are planning for retirement, already retired, or supporting a family member, the Expo is designed to empower you with the knowledge, connections, and confidence to retire smart and thrive.

Our Vision

To become Africa's leading platform for retirement education, financial security, healthy ageing, and lifestyle innovation.
