| NAPF Annual Conference & Exhibition
2008 8 - 10 October, Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre, Glasgow |
| About the event |
2008 is a pivotal year for pensions in the UK; the number of schemes seeking to buy-out will hit an all time high; another Pensions Act will pass into law; Government intervention and the threat from Europe grows stronger; and scheme costs and regulatory pressure continue to increase. Against this backdrop what is the future for workplace pensions? How will DC provision develop? Can regulation be reduced? Is the PPF levy fair? Are we ready for 2012? And what will teh Credit Crunch mean for pensions? All the leading speakers will be there - Pensions Secretary James Purnell MP; PPF CEO Partha Dasgupta; David Norgrove, Chairman of the Pensions Regulator; Tim Jones, CEO of the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority; Robert Peston, Broadcaster and Professor Robert Winston - and many more besides. |
| The
NAPF Annual Conference & Exhibition is the most important event
of the year for anyone involved in pensions, and brings together
hundreds of top pensions professionals. From pensions managers and
trustees, to finance directors and HR staff, to scheme sponsors
and their advisers. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to join you again at your annual conference – what is without doubt, the leading forum for occupational pension provision in Britain." |
| New for 2008..... |
| Free places |
For the first time, entry to the conference and exhibition is free to all NAPF fund members, including scheme managers, administrators and trustees as well as finance and HR representatives from your sponsor company. If you work in HR or Finance for a non-member organisation which runs an in-house pensions scheme, you will be able to claim a full refund of your registration fee. Simply visit the NAPF stand at the conference and sign up to HR PensionsConnection or FD PensionsConnection, the new NAPF pensions information services designed to help people in your role meet the growing challenges of running workplace pensions schemes. And it's not only NAPF fund members that benefit, registration fees for business members have been reduced significantly to ensure as many people can come to the conference as possible. |
