Unlike pieces of literature or college theses, copying your peers is a much-encouraged endeavor in the world of defined contribution. The sharing of information and best practices has been critical to the proliferation of successful plan designs and models, and the successes of certain plan sponsors and managers in particular aspects of plan management have inspired others in replicating and further improving on these existing achievements.
In an industry abundant with expertise and knowledge, the 2022 DC Institute – New York City event will collect and disseminate all the best practices, know-how, and wisdom that have have been accumulating in the past few years – learn from experts and peers on their experiences and their thought-processes behind decisions over everything from plan design, investment line-up overhaul, vendor relationship management, participant engagement, creating new programs, and much more.
The Defined Contribution Institute was created to serve DC plan sponsors, and we rely upon an Advisory Board of plan sponsors to help conceptualize and guide each event’s agenda. We sincerely thank this year’s Advisory Board as well as everyone who has provided — and will continue to provide — input to ensure that the topics we are addressing are current, practical, and pertinent.
