What's the hidden potential in pensions?
UK pensions is entering a new phase. Improved funding positions, a broader range of endgame options, innovation in retirement solutions and rapid developments in AI are creating opportunities that would have seemed unlikely only a few years ago.
We are delighted to invite you to WTW's Annual Pensions and Savings Conference on Tuesday, 17 November 2026, returning to the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane.
This year's theme, Hidden Potential, explores where that opportunity lies and how schemes, sponsors and providers can unlock greater value for members and stakeholders.
What to expect
Part 1: Unlocking value in DB – what are we missing?
As funding positions strengthen and surplus emerges, schemes face new opportunities and new decisions. We'll explore where value can be created, how endgame choices are evolving and what buyout innovation means in practice.
Part 2: Unlocking better outcomes – what can we do?
From retirement innovation and CDC to member engagement and AI-enabled decision-making, we'll examine how the industry can help improve outcomes and experiences for members.
Alongside thought-provoking discussions from WTW specialists and industry guests, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with peers, exchange ideas and continue the conversation over drinks and canapés following the conference.
Join us as we explore where the hidden potential in pensions lies, and what it will take to unlock it.
We look forward to welcoming you!
