2019 Retirement Industry Conference

Who Attends

Highlights

We live in a world of so many financial obligations: emergency planning, student loan debt, mortgages…the list goes on and on. Financial services professionals know how important it is to build a nest egg to reach personal retirement goals, but how can we emphasize this importance to our customers? And when the time for retirement comes, how can we best advise our customers to spend down wisely?

Attend this event to get answers to these questions and so much more. This important conference covers the latest strategic, sales, product, operations and administration, marketing and distribution trends as well as regulatory issues that impact the retirement industry. Everyone from DC plan services managers to retail-focused annuity product actuaries will find value in this event. The LIMRA LOMA Secure Retirement Institute and the Society of Actuaries promise to deliver highly relevant and present-day focused content. Come, participate, and network with your peers.

Conferment

The LIMRA LOMA Secure Retirement Institute will also hold the conferment ceremony for new Fellow, Secure Retirement Institute (FSRI) designees at the Retirement Industry Conference.  Details will be sent to all ASRI and FSRI designees.
