Retirement Plan Advisor Summit 2026

September 28-30, 2026 · Santa Monica, CA

Institutional Investor's Retirement Plan Advisor Summit is the West Coast edition of a hosted-buyer style event: a curated group of senior retirement plan advisors matched into structured meetings with asset managers and providers, rather than an open exhibit hall. The format produces a smaller room and considerably more scheduled conversation than a conventional conference.

Who attends

Senior retirement plan advisors and consultants managing significant defined contribution assets, along with asset managers, recordkeepers and providers selling into the channel.

What's on the agenda

• Defined contribution investment menu design and manager selection

• Retirement income solutions inside plans

• Fiduciary process, documentation and litigation risk

• Structured one-to-one meetings between advisors and providers

Why plan-level data is its own problem

Retirement plan advisory runs on data that behaves nothing like wealth management data: recordkeeper files in inconsistent formats, participant-level detail with real privacy constraints, and plan sponsor reporting that has to reconcile across multiple providers. Firms serving both plans and wealth clients usually maintain two entirely separate reporting worlds, and joining them is where the growth opportunity actually sits.
