What will your members' financial lives look like in 2040? Are master trusts and the wider pensions industry set up in the right way to get them there

Join senior leaders from across the DC pensions market for a half-day event to address those questions. Co-hosted by Quietroom and PwC, Pensions 2040 is a serious, stimulating look at where the industry is heading, and what to do about it.

The event is perfect for master trust leaders, proposition and policy leads, strategic marketers, customer experience directors and professional trustees from across the DC market.

We'll open with a reminder of who this is all for, hearing from members of the public at different life stages, telling us live in the room what they want their financial future to look like. Their voices set the tone for everything that follows.

A leading futurist will paint a picture of the world in 2040. PwC specialists from different markets will share what they think the world will look like by then, and we’ll discuss what it all means for pensions.

The morning closes with facilitated breakout groups – practical, focused conversations about what we can change when we get back to our desks. We'll share the key themes coming out of these discussions with everyone who attends.

This is not a passive event. It's a day designed to stretch your thinking and leave you with actionable ideas.

Networking and lunch are included. Places are limited, so contact us now if you’d like to come.
