Back to normal or back to better? Learning from the past to improve the future.

As the certainty of longer, warmer days dawns and the promise of a road out of lockdown brings hope, we ask where we see ourselves as an industry? Now is a good time to evaluate the lessons from an unsettling year and take stock of the many changes trustees and employers are facing.

What to expect

Our half-day virtual conference includes a packed agenda covering a range of topical issues in the DC pensions industry. Our chair, Laura Myers, Head of DC, will be joined by guest speakers and experts from across LCP including Richard Butcher, Chair of the PLSA and Sir Steve Webb, Partner and former Pensions Minister.
