Registration now open for the European Pensions conference

The registration is now open for the inaugural European Pensions Conference, which comes from the team behind European Pensions and Pensions Age.

At this interactive one-day event, taking place on 20 June 2019 at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, key speakers from across the European pensions arena will come together to discuss and reflect on a range of topics to include: investment strategies and asset allocation trends in play across Europe’s leading pension funds; risk management and de-risking solutions that Europe’s pension funds can and should be utilising; the increasing role that ESG and sustainability is playing in the European arena; financial wellness and member engagement; innovation and which pension funds are leading the way in this area; as well as a focus on the cross-border pensions debate and how this is developing.

The conference will be attended by European pension fund managers, trustees, CIOs, advisers and providers and is a must-attend forum for anyone involved in running pension funds in any country in Europe, as well as a great opportunity to learn from and network with some of the key representatives from across the European pensions space.
