The nuts and bolts of 401k MEP/PEP operations
– a hands-on perspective –
A Competitive Threat or a Rare Opportunity?
If you’re not leading, you’re following. Will you be looking for others who fit into the MEP/PEP framework you’ve crafted, or will others be looking to fit you in the framework they’ve created?
Or will you simply be left behind, relying on outdated business models and leaving the future to your competitors?
The open 401k MEP/PEP goes live in only a few months, but the window of opportunity is closing faster than that. Are you ready to hit the ground running? Are you confident you understand all the ERISA implications before you act? Have you grasped the real reasons why 401k plan sponsors find the MEP/PEP option so attractive? What elements of your existing business model can you quickly adapt to the coming MEP/PEP wave? How are your competitors already one step ahead of you?
Do you know the answers to these questions – or do you only think you know the answers to these questions?
Our event focuses on 401k MEP/PEP regulations, operations, and sales. If you’re a 401k service provider and want to continue or enter this business, the MEP/PEP topic is an urgent matter.
The SECURE Act was signed into law in December 2019. It allows companies to pool their retirement plans into one commonly shared plan – a 401k MEP or PEP (depending on the platform utilized). The earliest companies can enter these open pooled retirement plans is January 2021. However, in order to be able to do this in January 2021, they will have to begin the process in October 2020.
By the time the fall conference season starts, it will be nearly too late to make any last-minute adjustments to your 401k MEP/PEP business plan. That’s why we’ve decided to offer the 2020 401k MEP/PEP Virtual Conference the last week of August. By attending, you’ll end the week with a concise list of marching orders you can begin to implement within an hour after leaving the last conference event.
With the October deadline looming, it’s important to pro-actively learn all you can now. Financial professionals, registered investment advisers, brokers, insurance agents and retirement plan service providers need to know all they can do with the 401k MEP/PEP opportunity. And, based on surveys that indicated who people would most like to hear speak on these topics, we’ve compiled an impressive list of featured experts to provide all that and more.
We look forward to bringing you powerful sessions from industry leaders. From federal ERISA implications to state-sponsored alternatives, from safe plan design to practical administrative processes, for successful sales tips to demonstrating how capturing the upcoming demand for 401k MEP/PEPs can grow your business in ways you may not have thought of, the 2020 401k MEP/PEP Virtual Conference covers it all.
Bonus #1: Ask a Pro Consultations
Our VIP registrants receive up to three 15-minute consultations by phone with these expert speakers. This takes place prior to the event allowing them to get questions answered ahead of time so they can then benefit even more from the conference going in with their most important questions already answered. There are only 30 VIP seats available, and appointments are booked on a first-come/first-serve basis. Are there questions you’d like to ask your favorite expert? Register now because if you delay you may miss the chance to take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet with the featured speakers you’d most like to talk to.
Bonus #2: “Lunch Table” Networking Wrap-Up
How many times have you gone to a conference, come up with great idea, only to see them get lost in the sauce when you return to the office? This exclusive bonus, available to VIP and Preferred registrants only, gives you a chance to flesh-out an actionable “to-do” list before you leave the 2020 401k MEP/PEP (Virtual) Conference. Together with up to 10 people, you’ll meet in a private group with a featured speaker for an open roundtable discussion. The brainstorming power of this group is meant to give you specific “marching orders” to leave the conference with something you can implement immediately. Available to VIP and Preferred registrants only. Hurry because there are only 10 seats available per speaker table. Tables are booked on a first-come/first-serve basis. Do you have a particular featured speaker you’d like to work with? Register now before that speaker’s table is booked full.
