Conference Overview

Welcome to our 20th annual conference – an event firmly established as the yearly meeting point for retirement income specialists since its inception in 1997. Although historically known as ‘The Annual Conference on Annuities and Drawdown’, we have recently changed the title to ‘Rethinking Retirement Options’ to better reflect the pension freedom era.

What hasn’t changed is the carefully researched programme, incorporating topics that previous delegates have identified as key to the development of the market, coupled with high calibre speakers with a wide range of expertise to deliver an informative and stimulating agenda.

Please request the brochure for full details. We hope you will be able to join us.

What is Not Included

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.

We shall be happy to assist with any queries if you call 020 7582 6516.
