About PP Live

PP Live - Professional Pensions' flagship event - will consist of a range of keynote addresses, insightful discussions and four parallel streams allowing delegates to ‘pick and mix' from a selection of defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC), admin and data, and governance and people focused topics.

Our event programme addresses key topics including the next steps with regards to the Pensions Dashboard Programme and also includes a deep dive into areas such as the DB funding code, reassessing the value of LDI in today's pension market and will explore modern methods of member engagement.

We will also examine latest investment strategies, new approaches in managing data and administration as well as governance and risk assessment.

There will also be an exhibition area where you can meet your consultants and providers, as well as network with your industry peers.

Complimentary places are available for in-house pension and benefit professionals. For more information on this and paid passes, please click here.
