about

The annual PLANSPONSOR National Conference is the must-attend event of its kind, tailored to the needs of human resource and finance professionals responsible for administering employer-sponsored retirement plans. It brings together a unique cross section of the retirement plan industry—plan sponsors, advisers, providers, industry group representatives and legal experts—to deliver insightful discussions and engaging presentations.

The 2025 conference agenda will address a wide spectrum of crucial topics, including:

  • Plan sponsor fiduciary responsibilities
  • Plan design and administration
  • Financial wellness education and engagement
  • Regulatory and legislative updates
Attendees will, as always, have ample opportunities to connect with peers, foster valuable networks and explore providers’ latest product and service innovations. All can join in celebrating the achievements of plan sponsors and providers at the annual Excellence in Retirement Awards dinner.
