The Pension Fund Investors Dinner brings pension funds and their advisers together in a relaxed, informal environment where issues of the day can be discussed and relationships established or renewed. Representatives from pension funds, consultants, advisers and fund managers sit at each table at the dinner, and a drinks reception beforehand offers the ideal opportunity for attendees to widen their circle of friends and acquaintances. Timed to coincide with the PLSA Investment Conference in March, this event continues to go from strength to strength.

DC Question Time is a half-day peer learning and networking opportunity for senior practitioners to compare notes on the major challenges in the evolution of DC Pensions. Similar in format to Question Time on the TV (though in private session), audience members send in pre-set questions which they pose to the panel in live time. All other participants are encouraged to ask spontaneous questions at any point during the discussions. The result is a vibrant debate on the key issues concerning the leading practitioners in DC pensions.

Held each year in February, the LAPF Strategic Investment Forum is a one day investment conference and dinner for senior LGPS fund investment officers and their advisers. Consisting of short, snappy, thought-provoking presentations, interviews, expert panel sessions and roundtable discussions focusing on key investment issues, the conference attracts strong attendance from the sector, and has become an important event in the calendar for local authority pension fund representatives and their advisers.
