UK Pension Risk Transfer Conference 2026
Wednesday 25th February | 08:30 – 13:00
JW Marriott Grosvenor House, 86-90 Park Lane, London W1K 7TN
Get inside the deals, the decisions and the disruption shaping risk transfer in 2026 and join market leaders for a high‑impact morning of insight and challenge.
Join us as we reconnect trustees, sponsors, advisers and insurer leaders to discuss the hot topics that will define the year ahead: ownership, innovation, and member experience.
Building on last year’s standout conference, we promise you a morning filled with sharp and insightful panel discussions and audience participation, all designed to give you a clearer view of how the market is set to evolve.
Back by popular demand is our popular game‑show theme where you can be part of the audience for some firm favourites and, yes, we couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to bring Blind Date back to the stage!
Here’s the sessions you can look forward to:
- Review of ownership changes at the bulk annuity insurers and what this means for policyholder security and asset strategy?
- Deep dive into recent innovative solutions in the market and their impact through different lens
- Risk Transfer 2030: What does the risk transfer arena of the future look like?
In addition, we’ll have every insurer in the market on stage together again to hear them compete to give the most compelling update on their propositions and the commitments they will be giving for the next 12 months.
We are also delighted to be joined by our superb keynote speaker, historian, broadcaster and columnist, Dominic Sandbrook.
The 2026 Risk Transfer Conference is part of the two-day Mercer Global Investment Forum, so when registering you will also have the option to attend the wider sessions available on the previous day (Tuesday 24th February).
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to network, learn and be inspired! We can’t wait to see you there!
