Defined Contribution Institute - Half Moon Bay 2021

Sep 21st - Sep 22nd 2021

The Ritz-Carlton

Half Moon Bay, CA (San Francisco)

The Academic Symposium - Turning Cutting-Edge Research and Studies into Actionable Insights

Changing tack from our 2020 Virtual Half Moon Bay Conference, where we hosted both plan sponsors and service providers presenting case studies of plan innovations and initiatives and shared successes and pitfalls, our 2021 Half Moon Bay event will dive into the rich world of exciting new research, studies, and data-centric analyses that the DC industry is endowed with.

We will take advantage of the open-air environment at the scenic Half Moon Bay venue, and our renewed focus on providing smaller but more engaging breakout session formats to allow attendees to pick, choose, and rotate among their preferred research topics in order to cover more ground. Most importantly, research and studies, as exciting and innovative as they are, must help plan sponsors lay the groundwork for action. We hope you will join us for our first return-to-live event in 2021 to hear and engage with experts on the latest research initiatives in the industry, and use the opportunity to conceptualize the theoretical and act on the forthcoming for your plans and participants
