Conference Overview

This conference is the main annual occasion for the leading insurers, reinsurers, pension consultants, asset managers and lawyers to come together to exchange views on the latest developments in the bulk annuity and longevity risk transfer market and the factors which will shape it in the year ahead.

There is currently an impressive pipeline of new business, encouraged by strong investment markets boosting assets, less optimistic longevity trends moderating liability expectations and market competition delivering more affordable prices. Some practitioners believe 2018 could be record breaking as very large buy-in transactions return and longevity deals increase.

In recent years the event has attracted delegates from the USA, Canada, Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Ireland, reflecting how the market is becoming steadily more cross border and globalised, as it continues to expand confidently in the UK. This trend, with its exciting prospects, is picked up in this year’s theme: Bulk Annuities – The Expanding Market.

The 2018 Conference on Bulk Annuities – Expanding the Market offers great promotional opportunities and cost effective ways to enhance your brand and make valuable new contacts. You can reach delegates who come from many parts of the world which in recent years have included the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Holland, Germany, Ireland and Bermuda. They have a deep interest in pension buy-ins and buyouts, longevity swaps and reinsurance and many regard this event as their must attend conference of the year.

Promotional Opportunities include:

Exhibition Spaces
At this year’s larger venue there is room for eight exhibition spaces, all in prominent positions close to the conference registration desk and in the refreshment area. They offer an exceptional opportunity to enhance your brand awareness and networking capability at a modest cost.

Drinks Party Sponsorship
The Conference Drinks Reception will be held at the end of the first day of the conference, 25th April. We are inviting sponsorship of the drinks which entitles the sponsor to a verbal acknowledgement by the Chairman for their support and the opportunity if desired to say a few words during the party by way of welcome.

Hosted Lunch Tables
Here is an opportunity to invite professional contacts, or scheme sponsors and trustees, to join you on your own branded company lunch table – an excellent way to develop new contacts, particularly with schemes which have yet to deal.

Delegate Pack Advertisement
This reaches not only delegates who attend in person but also those who cannot be there on the day and order a non-delegate pack instead.

Literature Distribution
A good way to get your latest research or report in front of everyone in this well-informed and highly professional audience.

All the above facilities are very competitively priced. We can also tailor make a package to meet your requirements and budget. For further information please contact Anna Barber on 020 7582 6516 or send us a message.
