Across the UK and EMEA, Aon participates in a variety of sector-specific conferences and exhibitions as well as holding regular seminars, webinars, conferences and events focusing on key issues of client interest.
To mitigate the risk and further spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new Coronavirus, Aon’s leadership globally has taken the decision to postpone and suspend upcoming Aon-hosted events. This precautionary measure will affect the events due to take place during March. This is purely precautionary - we are very sorry to have to take the decision to cancel these events, however, as you can appreciate our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, their families, our clients and other guests. For more information please speak with your usual Aon contact.

Keeping the target in sight
Webinar
1.30pm - 2pm
We will consider the importance for members of setting and making use of targets to enable members to transition from work into retirement, including considering:
- Have DC pension members thought about how much they need to retire in the way that they want and how to get there? What can sponsors and trustees do to support them with this?
- How can we use retirement targets to improve DC scheme design? We will share our market leading thinking on the next generation of target focused DC investment strategies.
