- The industry-wide awareness week is set to return in September and will feature a range of online events designed to encourage knowledge sharing, insight, and best practice as companies prepare for the dashboards connections starting in eight months.
Leading figures from the pensions world are set to come together and discuss key issues surrounding the future of UK lifetime savings technologies at Pensions Dashboards Week (PDW) 2024.
Taking place virtually between 23 – 27 September, this year’s initiative, led by Bravura, will look to help firms progress their connection and readiness journeys ahead of the first Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) connection deadlines next year (April 2025).
The series of free-to-attend webinars, Q&As, and panel discussions will cover a wide variety of important topics, including international lessons of pensions dashboards, data & AI, and future pension reform; all with a consumer-centric tilt.
Online delegates will hear from a range of speakers, including Chris Curry, Principal, PDP; Gareth Tancred, Chief Executive, PMI; Rosie Lacey, Vice President, PMI; Kim Gubler, Chair, PASA; and Louise Davey, Interim Director of Regulatory Analysis and Advice, The Pensions Regulator.
Jonathan Hawkins, Propositions Lead EMEA, Bravura, said: “Pensions dashboards are the first step towards modernising the UK’s pensions sector and will truly change the long-held relationships between schemes, providers, their members and their savings, so it’s vital the industry comes together to deliver this effectively. This year’s initiative helps move the debate from connection to better understanding the huge change and opportunity dashboards will create for the whole industry so it is essential to provide a space where we can have those conversations and help encourage innovation along the way.
“With the first connection deadline happening just over eight months away, now is the perfect time for firms to think beyond connection deadlines and really grasp the material changes pensions dashboards will create with both hands. Those that do will be the big winners, particularly as we can expect further modernisation and reform as part of the Pensions Scheme Bill to ensure people are able to live a comfortable retirement.”
