Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Hosts

  1. Financial Security Program

Now in its second year, the Workers’ Wealth Lab is hosted by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program and DCIIA, with insights powered by Morningstar Retirement. The flagship invite-only event in our joint initiative, the Lab brings together leading employers, retirement industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers to test bold ideas that help workers build financial stability and long-term wealth at the same time.

Building on last year’s momentum, this year’s Lab will focus on the power of emergency savings and liquidity tools to reduce costly pre-retirement withdrawals. Through four hands-on workshop stations, participants will explore, test, and refine solutions together. Plenaries and breakouts will cover:

  • Emergency savings and liquidity solutions
  • Asset allocation decisions among low-income workers
  • Future-forward solutions for retirement savings advice
  • Trump Accounts as a potential tool for workplace wealth building
