Pensions Age Northern Conference 2018 | Pension Age | 14 June 2018 | Marriott Hotel, 4, Trevelyan Square, Boar Ln, Leeds LS1 6ET, UK

The Pensions Age Northern Conference offers pension funds and those working in the UK pensions space the tools and information that they need to get it right at a time when managing pension schemes is more challenging than it has perhaps ever been.

Now in its third successful year this one day conference, which is open to pension scheme managers, trustees, FDs, advisers, pension and HR professionals, will offer delegates the up-to-date knowledge and guidance they need to help them run their pension schemes to the absolute best of their ability, and give them the tools they need to help them carry out their duties whether this is in relation to DB, DC or to schemes on a path to de-risk.

Freedom and choice in pensions is well and truly a reality now, and the pensions industry is working hard to provide the right products to meet the different member needs, whilst regulation is being put in place to minimise the unintended consequences of this dramatic legislation.

Similarly, auto-enrolment has entered the realms of the smaller employer, with the challenges that brings; while the spotlight has been shone on the world of Master Trusts in order that only the well governed and most transparent offerings can survive.

Covering all aspects of pension provision, this key conference will help delegates improve their pensions knowledge and understanding with a series of presentations from leading pension professionals, associations and policymakers from across the industry.
