About
The annual PLANSPONSOR National Conference is the must-attend event for HR and finance professionals committed to elevating their roles as retirement plan fiduciaries. PLANSPONSOR’s mission remains clear: to equip attendees with the timely education, actionable insights and practical strategies needed to stay ahead of evolving industry trends, regulatory and legislative changes, as well as with best practices in plan administration and investments.
In 2027, the conference will continue to bring together a dynamic cross section of the retirement plan community—plan sponsors, advisers, providers, industry leaders and legal experts—for an engaging program of interactive workshops, expert-led presentations and thought-provoking panel discussions. Together, we will explore the latest innovations shaping retirement readiness and financial wellness, helping employees achieve stronger financial futures.
Beyond the learning experience, the 2027 PLANSPONSOR National Conference will offer unparalleled opportunities to connect with peers, build meaningful relationships and exchange ideas with like-minded professionals. The event will also celebrate excellence across the industry, culminating in the prestigious Excellence in Retirement Awards, recognizing the outstanding achievements of plan sponsors and providers.
