2021 DC PLAN SUMMIT
October 5-7, 2021 | Fairmont Le Château Montebello, Quebec
Redefining the role of DC plans
The novel coronavirus sent shocks throughout the market and accelerated many global trends, changing the way companies operate indefinitely. And for plan sponsors and members in defined contribution plans, the pandemic gave renewed urgency to longstanding questions: What does decumulation look like in the DC context? How can sustainability objectives work alongside retirement savings goals? What do market changes mean for current investment options? And how can plan sponsors support employees in saving for both the short and long term, while educating members about risk tolerance? The 2021 DC Plan Summit will look at how the role of DC plans is being redefined against a backdrop of acute uncertainty and what plan sponsors can do to stay at the leading edge of change.

The DC Plan Summit is the premier annual conference in Canada for DC leaders and influencers. The Summit’s highly interactive format focuses on sharing best practices and fostering knowledge transfer through leading-edge content and audience engagement.

Strategy in a world of disruption
Today, the world is undergoing a paradigm shift. It’s not only changing because of technological innovation, but it has now been permanently accelerated. And business leaders are now looking for new ways of approaching work. Navigating this disruption, will require organizations to abandon the set of ideas and practices that may have been successful in the past. It has forced them to make bold decisions in a world of uncertainty. How can companies build a culture of innovation? How can they manage the increased gigification of work? How can they incentivize and reward talent when their work has fundamentally changed? Today, organizations need to be bold, brave, and experimental. In this session, Shawn Kanungo will provide a roadmap for the future. He explores how businesses can take unexpected approaches to innovation and behavioural insights to remain relevant.
