Conference Overview

Pension freedom has transformed the world of retirement and a new market is taking shape. By late November, when this event takes place, we will have several months’ worth of data and experience of the new world. Although the market is continuing to evolve in response to the reforms – with further policy and regulatory change on the horizon – it is possible to provide increasingly detailed analysis of what has happened since 6 April and make informed judgements on what the future might look like. This conference will explore the new reality.  

19th Annuities cover

Day 1, Freedom and Protection, will consider what has happened since 6 April, whether freedom and protection are being reconciled and the future outlook. It will, in particular, explore the development of processes and propositions that will engage investors and help them to reach informed decisions that optimise the value of their retirement savings.

Day 2, Innovation and Disruption, will focus on retirement products and strategies. It will look at the evolution of previously existing solutions, recently launched solutions and how they can best be utilised in the new world. It will also consider future innovation and the role of new entrants.

Otto Thoresen, Chair, NEST CORPORATION

Lesley Titcomb, Chief Executive, THE PENSIONS REGULATOR

Clive Bannister, CEO, PHOENIX GROUP

Travel to and from the venue and overnight accommodation if required is the responsibility of individual delegates and not included in the registration fee. If it is required it must be separately booked. Because prices charged by London hotels change almost daily we are unable to quote firm room rates. Apart from the anticipated occupancy levels on any specific date, rates vary according to when the booking is made. We are, however, able to make suggestions of nearby hotels worth considering. We shall be happy to assist with any queries if you call 020 7582 6516.

No Sharing or Splitting. Each registration applies to one named person only. Registrations cannot be shared or split between different people even if they are present for different parts of the day.

Non-Appearance on the day is chargeable, whether or not the invoice has been paid.
