Register now for the 2022 DC Plan Summit! 

The theme for this year’s conference is The DC plans of the future.  

Two years since the global coronavirus was first declared, defined contribution plan sponsors are continuing to tackle several trends affecting their plans and members — What does the current economic landscape mean for investment lineups? How do ESG factors tie into plan priorities? How can plan sponsors use data and technology? Is there a space for hybrid pension plans? What legislative changes are required? What’s ahead for in-plan decumulation options? How can communications and education approaches improve employees’ retirement readiness?  

The 2022 DC Plan Summit will feature case studies from plan sponsors already leading the way on these topics, as well as presentations by thought leaders to help employers embrace these changes and prepare for the future. We hope you’ll join us to discuss these topics and more on May 11-13, 2022 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia.
