Established in 1979, Westminster and City have built a reputation over forty years for well-researched conferences on the way legislation, public policy and market developments affect the business strategies of retail financial services and financial institutions, with a focus on the Pensions and Retirement market. Key topics covered include DB to DC Transfers, Pension Buyouts, Annuities and Retirement Income. With their distinctive interactive format, the conferences place particular emphasis on questions, discussion and debate so that delegates can have a genuine and sometimes controversial exchange of views. Past speakers have included many Government ministers, European officials, Regulators, senior representatives from banks, insurance companies, securities and investment houses and other financial institutions as well as leading accountants, solicitors, actuaries and management consultants. Because the events tend to attract very senior people, the networking opportunities are exceptional.
