The DCREC Thought Leadership Conference is the premier forum dedicated to exploring the role of private real estate and related private market strategies within defined contribution plans.
Bringing together consultants, recordkeepers, asset managers, attorneys, advisors, and other retirement industry leaders, the conference examines the opportunities, challenges, and practical considerations involved in expanding access to private assets in the DC marketplace.
The program features discussions on private real estate, private credit, managed accounts, recordkeeper capabilities, regulatory developments, portfolio construction, and implementation trends, along with insights from DCREC’s annual industry benchmarking initiatives. Attendees will hear from leading practitioners and decision-makers shaping the future of retirement investing and gain valuable perspectives on how the industry is evolving.
Whether you are evaluating private asset solutions, navigating implementation considerations, or seeking to better understand the future direction of defined contribution investing, the DCREC Thought Leadership Conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas with peers, and engage in one of the most important conversations in the retirement industry.
