The 2018 Eastern Regional Conference will be held at the Doubletree Center City Hotel in Philadelphia on Thursday, April 26 and Friday, April 27. One of only two live regional conferences to be sponsored by ASPPA in 2018, the Eastern Regional Conference has been designed to educate retirement plan practitioners of all types and levels of experience on the latest developments in our industry, including the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on qualified retirement plans.

There will be general sessions covering the latest developments in Washington, at the IRS and the Department of Labor, as well as an “Ask the Experts” session and a two-CE-credit Ethics session.

Breakout workshop sessions will cover:

  • Advanced 401(k) Plan Design

  • DB Plans 101

  • What TPAs Can Learn from ERISA Litigation

  • Mergers and Acquisitions

  • Correcting 401(k) and 403(b) Errors
