Current Context

The context in which retirement plan service providers operate in 2022 has changed, affecting all aspects of our lives - not just retirement plans. The pandemic amplified trends that were already underway.

  • Broadened scope of the business, considered a facilitator of employee Financial Well-Being, not limited to retirement readiness
  • Ubiquitous use of handheld devices / SMS / apps / in-app notifications/ in-app chat
  • Increased appeal of the ease and convenience of self-service
  • Fast decline of in-person meetings / phone calls in favor of the digital client experience
  • Effectiveness of iail communications becoming marginal
  • Immeasurable impact of AI, Robotics, and automated assistants that anticipate our need for communication
  • Consolidation at every level of the industry vertical (advisor teams, advisory firms, TPAs, recordkeeping service providers, HCM/payroll service providers)

The change is so dramatic that we are unable to conceive THE WAY OF THE FUTURE by extrapolating past experience. Technological innovation has expanded the universe of possibilities beyond user expectations. Dreams come true, and drive what the market will demand tomorrow and what some segments already demand today.

  • Just-in-time / on-demand communications that users access at the time when they need it, when they want/choose to look at it
  • Virtual is just as important as if not more important than in-person contact

In this context, the Annual Meeting of the Client Plan Sponsor and Advisor/Consultant Experience Roundtable is no longer an isolated event; it is part of a public advocacy program that includes:

  • Access to the EACH Enterprise online community app
  • Advocacy on the Website of The 401(k) Listening Post
  • 2 employer polls in collaboration with the Worldwide employee Benefits Network
  • One VIEWPOINT paper on an industry issue based on deliberations
  • Client Relationship Managment Sentiment Survey and Report

Seventeen firms are participating in the entire program can register up to three attendees free of charge. You too can benefit by attending the meeting, even if you did not participate in the entire program.

Meeting Objective

 Forum for:

  • Chief Client Relationship Managment Officers
  • Heads of Advisor/Consultant Relationship Managment

Meeting of retirement plan firms to discuss emerging industry trends, major challenges and opportunities, current and upcoming governmental regulations, and other topics of interest to attendees. Informal discussions are organized around topics suggested in the registration process. There are no minutes of this meeting.

Join us for a robust dialogue on the merging retirement plan service landscape at the Client Plan Sponsor and Advisor/Consultant Experience Roundtable.  Major retirement plan recordkeepers attend regularly.  Insights will be broken up based on your interests (Hot Topics), and by asset-size, providing focused, relevant dialogue on how to thrive and differentiate amid the changes.
