NextGen Pensions

🤩 Never been to a PLSA Conference? Working with promising colleagues who’d benefit from going this year? 🤩   In collaboration with NextGen, this year the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association are looking to attract a more diverse range of attendees, speakers and commentators for its Annual Conference.   For the past few years we’ve been able to offer a handful of free tickets to NextGen members (worth thousands of pounds each - thank you PLSA!). But this year, we both want to go bigger and better!   If you want to throw your hat in the ring for a free spot or if there are members of your team who'd benefit from attending, then we’re looking for answers to these four questions (via [email protected]) by COB on Thursday 12th September 👇   - What is your role and company? - Have you attended a PLSA Conference in the last three years? - What would you like to get out of attending the PLSA Annual conference? - How could NextGen and the PLSA help enhance your experience at a large national conference?

Thank you to all of our wonderful members and volunteers for attending and organising last nights event! ✨ Shout out to our amazing speakers Sonia Kaurah (Tala Thrive), Michelle Darracott (TPT Retirement Solutions & BESTrustees Limited), Michael Watkins (Aurem) and Christina Bowyer (Pinsent Masons) for a insightful and powerful panel discussion.
