38th Annual Pension & Benefits Seminar

Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas

February 7 - 9, 2027

Take an active role in safeguarding the future of your plan and retirement by registering for this informative seminar!

NAPO’s Annual Pension & Benefits Seminar educates pension system trustees, employee representatives, and providers and vendors on the latest issues surrounding the pension and benefits industry.

Our seminar is constantly updated to focus on the developing policies of the second Trump Administration, Executive Orders, lawsuits, and the new Congress. Progress has certainly been made regarding inflation and the cost of living, but concern about our National Debt and the logjam in Congress remain.  The desire for stability and some sort of predictability remain vital in equity markets, and the battle over foreign policy and trade and tariffs continues.  We will continue to address the growing use of AI as well as liability risks & practical advice for fiduciaries. Public employee benefits themselves continue to garner greater recognition as key components of recruitment and retention.  We will examine these areas and more as we evaluate the effect of these trends on public employment benefits and security, and the near- and mid-term future for U.S. and world economic conditions.
