Defined Contribution Institute 2019 - Half Moon Bay | Institutional Investor | 19 September 2019 | The Ritz-Carlton, 1 Miramontes Point Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019, USA

This year's Defined Contribution Symposium will thus focus on the core issue of retirement itself - whether you believe the central theme of the discussion is “retirement income”, “retirement solutions”, “retirement preparedness” or some other facet. From new ideas on retirement income and providing useable annuities to ensuring retirement readiness for plan participants, we will delve into how plan sponsors and participants can discern between the relevant and the extraneous so that we can chart a path out of the currently unknown and deliver the opportunity for the staunch and reliable retirement that your participants want and deserve.

• A new look at retirement income solutions, whether it's a re-evaluation of existing options to a hard look towards the future.
• Striving for a more holistic participant communications system to fully assuage the fears and instill confidence during the decumulation phase.
• How the right decisions by you when it comes to all the different cogs in the DC machine, from financial wellness, plan investment lineup to plan design, can fit together to contribute toward solving the retirement income conundrum.
