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 the 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. But don't just take
it from us - this is what then Secretary of State for Work
and Pensions, John Hutton MP, said at
last years event:
"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."
