The future of pensions – driving better outcomes for members

The National Pensions Summit 2024 hosted by the Business Post and iQuest, is the leading forum for Irish pension decision makers to gather for networking and insights in the design and delivery of benefits and pension plans for Ireland’s increasing workforce. It will bring together pension managers, finance directors and trustees who control assets worth billions of euros, HR specialists responsible for large workforces of people and key policy advisers, to discuss the future of pensions and how to drive better outcomes for members.

The Summit provides a unique opportunity for employers and businesses to hear from experts in the pension community on the key things that you, as an employer, need to know about the Irish pension landscape in 2024 and beyond.

As a key part of any competitive benefit package, workplace pension provision is a key tool for businesses when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. Change is underway and we know the State is pushing for both employer and personal responsibility. As an employer, pensions need to be on your agenda for 2024 to ensure you are ahead of the game.

We are facing major demographic issues with an ageing population, who are living longer. Ireland will soon be brimming with fit and healthy sexagenarians, septuagenarians and octogenarians. The proportion of older workers is increasing, which means that employers will need to improve how they manage and develop people as they age. Auto-enrolment is one key element to addressing that, but what other solutions are there are available to business both now and in the future?

The National Pensions Summit 2024 will explore the current state of pensions in Ireland in the aftermath of IORP II and examine whether new and impending pension models are driving better member outcomes, as they were designed to do.

It will discuss behavioural finance and new ways of encouraging members to take control of their financial futures and will also explore emerging trends like Value for Money and holistic financial planning and wellbeing.

Our expert speakers will outline the key catalysts that will shape the future of pensions including ultimate retirement benefit drawdown and the evolution of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in investments. Also, how artificial intelligence (AI) fit into the overall conundrum.

If you are an employer, then The National Pensions Summit 2024 in Croke Park on 1 February 2024 is not to be missed! Come along and hear all you need to know about the Irish pension landscape in 2024 and beyond.
