Built on insight. Defined by clarity. 

For trustees, sponsors and other decision-makers, our 2025 DB Pensions Forum offered the expert insights and peer connections needed to help make confident decisions.

We hosted events in Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, London and Manchester, bringing together a range of pensions professionals to share perspectives on the future of defined benefit (DB) schemes.

Across the series, our experts – joined by leading external trustees and investment specialists – explored some of the most pressing topics for DB decision-makers, including endgame innovation, the evolving regulatory environment, administration challenges, and investment perspectives.

Our bespoke and focused forums enabled participants to engage in open discussion, ask questions, and exchange practical solutions.

Topics we covered

  • Key developments in pensions regulation and policy.
  • Practical challenges in scheme governance and administration.
  • Strategic approaches to funding and investment.
  • Planning for endgame – including risk transfer and alternative options.
  • Insights from real-world case studies and client experiences.

What to expect

  • Two hours of carefully structured, expert-led sessions.
  • Region-specific content grounded in real client experience.
  • A well-paced session designed to support clear thinking and meaningful exchange.
  • Time for informal discussion and networking with peers and BW specialists.
