Away from the hustle and bustle of London, the LGPS Pooling Symposium takes place at The Belfry Hotel & Resort on the 6-7 May 2025.
As the LGPS faces a challenging deadline to pool assets, establish consultancy abilities and register with the Financial Conduct Authority, our panellists, sponsors and delegates will analyse the evolution of LGPS pooling and assess the progress made to date.
Our after-dinner speaker, meanwhile, is used to a different type of ‘pool’. Olympic swimmer Mark Foster will be joining us on 7 May to discuss his medal-winning career.
