The event included an update from The Pensions Regulator policy manager Louise Sivyer as well as a session looking at the future of DC - including the shift to master trusts and the increased emphasis on ESG - by Standard Life proposition director Jenny Holt.
It also included a session on how to improve retirement outcomes by putting members first, delivered by Hymans Robertson DC investment consultant Callum Stewart, and a talk on how to implement ESG into investment decisions by BlackRock's Manuela Sperandeo.
The DeskFlix event also looked at DC default design - with SEI's Steve Charlton and Louise Whyte asking how innovative portfolio design could work to protect members' savings in market downturns.
And, at a time when successfully communicating with members has never been more important, pension trustee Michelle Cracknell took a look at why being engaging is key.
