December 7, 2004 -(Arlington, Va.) – The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA), the National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA) and the Western Pension & Benefits Conference (WP&BC) have teamed up to present the 2005 Los Angeles Benefits Conference (LABC) in Universal City, CA on January 27-28, 2005. The LABC is the perfect opportunity to meet and discuss employee benefits issues with colleagues and top IRS and DOL government agency representatives. Highlights include high-level government speakers in every session, an IRS Q&A session, and a pre-conference interactive workshop on January 26: “Conversations with the IRS and DOL.”

The conference features interactive panel discussions on the latest employee benefits issues with local, regional and national government and private sector experts. Designed for all pension professionals, the program will focus on exchanging information and educating attendees on current regulatory, legislative, administrative and actuarial topics. According to Fred Reish, Esq., APM, Senior Advisor of the Los Angeles Benefits Conference, "The LABC brings you the best of the public and private sectors. Government speakers discuss guidance and enforcement, and the practitioners explain what it means to you and your clients."

Additional conference highlights include dialogue sessions with IRS representatives regarding the EPCRS, actuarial issues, IRS guidance and DOL enforcement. Other workshop topics include DB Plan Design; 403(b) Plans; ERISA Litigation Update; The Aftermath of Mutual Funds Scandals; and much more.
