Pension provision in Ireland has experienced considerable challenges and change in recent years. With sustainability questions on the Public Sector, State and DB pensions and adequacy concerns on DC pensions, what is the future? Where is pension provision heading and what choices are open to scheme members, trustees and employers?

This year's IAPF Annual Benefits Conference will hear from national and international experts on the key issues and challenges facing Irish pension schemes. The purpose of which is to encourage solutions and pension reform to ensure a robust pension provision structure that is fit for the future.
