This conference offers a high level of education, knowledgeable speakers, and the latest information on pension issues. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet and discuss employee benefits issues with colleagues and top IRS and DOL government agency representatives

The program will focus on exchanging information and educating attendees about current regulatory, legislative, administrative and actuarial topics. Check back for session descriptions.

Prerequisites and advanced preparation are NOT required for this meeting

Great news…Session handouts will now be delivered electronically to attendees!

This new paperless format means that there will no longer be an educational session handbook. Instead, all registrants will have several ways to access session handouts before, during and after the conference. Please visit www.asppa.org/paperless for more information on what you can do to prepare!
