Local Authority Conference 2021 | Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) | 18 May 2021 | Online event

The Local Government Pension Scheme faces unique issues in governance, membership and costs that no other pension scheme faces.

McCloud, the £95k cap, employer exit payments, pooling governance, public sector resource pressures: the LGPS is coping with a relentless wave of complex change. And meanwhile local authority pension funds are pioneering progress in ESG and value for money.

Where will the future take us? Join us and decide at the high-impact event for local authorities to talk about the high-impact events in their world.
