The DB Summit is designed to help plan sponsors that have or are considering adding a DB plan make the important decisions. Discussions and presentations on March 8 and 9 will focus on whether the future environment is conducive to more pension risk transfers, to keeping plans active or to reopening closed plans, as well as what investing strategies can help plan sponsors reach their plan goals.
Join us as we explore the prospective role of DB plans in Americans’ retirement security.
Receive a $10 coffee card if you are among the first 100 registrants who log into the event each day.

In 1741, “The American Magazine,” the first magazine in the U.S., was published in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, three days before a competitor publication backed by Benjamin Franklin printed. In 1906, Pauline Frederick, the first woman network radio correspondent, and the first woman to moderate a presidential debate, was born. In 1920, the National Negro Baseball League was organized. The league continued full-time, amid robust operations until one of its own, the Kansas City Monarchs’ Jackie Robinson, broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947. In 1960, France tested its first atomic bomb—Gerboise Bleue—named after the blue of the tricolor flag and a small desert animal in the Sahara. In 1997, the Dow Jones Industrial Average first eclipsed the 7,000 mark, then closed at 7,022.44. In 2000, the last Peanuts comic strip was published in newspapers, just hours after the death of creator Charles Schulz.
