With this initiative, vps.epas is underlining its commitment to a decentralised 2nd pillar managed on the basis of social partnership and helping management bodies to undertake their continuing professional development in a consolidated and efficient way. For many foundation boards, the Pension Symposium has become a firm fixture on the annual training and development calendar.
The Pension Market Trade Fair will take place at the same time, offering stakeholders a current market overview of 2nd pillar service providers.
The 2'300 - 2'500 visitors will receive suggestions for their pension scheme and can visit a maximum of providers as well as lectures of the Pension Symposium within two days.
