UTICA, N.Y., March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BPAS, a leading national provider of retirement plans, benefit plans, fund administration, and collective investment trusts, announced today that its 6th annual Partner Conference will take place June 3, 4, and 5, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MA. The conference is expected to draw more than 200 financial partners from across the nation.
Now in its 6th year, the conference provides a forum for financial partners and plan sponsors to participate in collaborative discussions on critical topics shaping the retirement and benefit plan industry. The premier event will head "Back to the Future," to determine whether regulations that had been sidelined could be coming back with the changes in the political landscape.
"The mid-term elections and the electioneering for presidency have rekindled discussions on plan coverage, participation, and fiduciary issues, as well as the roles of the states and the federal government in our retirement plan system," said Barry Kublin, BPAS CEO. "We'll take a look at regulatory and legislative initiatives and discuss opportunities for advisors to deliver proactive solutions to stay ahead of the predictive mandates. At BPAS, we're committed to helping advisors strengthen their qualitative value propositions and deliver enhanced participant outcomes."
Back by popular demand are speakers including Ralph Acampora's Market Watch, Brad Campbell's view on DOL and IRS initiatives, and Groom Law's perspective on the regulatory sea. 2019 attendees will also enjoy perspectives from industry experts including: Nancy Melcher of MOR Strategy Partners for a look at the Art and Science of Optimizing Engagement, and Ryan Tiernan with advice on how HSAs can be profit centers.
"BPAS partners have a unique opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate in a casual, interactive setting," added Paul Neveu, President of BPAS Plan Administration & Recordkeeping Services. "Our speakers and panel discussions deliver key industry trends, best practices, regulatory information, and business development strategies. New and experienced BPAS partners will gain invaluable information, ideas, and inspiration to help grow their practices in an ever changing marketplace."
New this year is an expanded track geared towards VEBA/HRA and HSA offerings. "We continue to see a convergence of traditional retirement income planning and retiree medical expense planning. Collaboration on these benefit issues will serve our participant customers well," added Kublin.
Platinum-level conference sponsors include: BlackRock, Federated, and PGIM. Gold sponsors include: American Funds and Fidelity.
