PRAG AGM 2025

On behalf of the PRAG Executive, we would like to thank our attendees of our annual AGM & Conference on Tuesday 19 November at the Royal College of Physicians. 135 delegates joined us for a variety of educational and thought-provoking sessions relevant to the challenges faced by our members working in the pensions industry.

Particular thanks go to our speakers on the day:

Tracey Washbrooke (Hymans Robertson) - DC working party update

Peter Cox (Northern Trust)  - ESG working party

Tim Robinson (Crowe) - Cyber & fraud working party update

Andy Lowe (PwC) - SORP update

Damien Pantling (Clara) – Superfunds, and Pensions bill panel discussion

Edd Collins (WTW) - Guided Retirement and CDCs, and Pensions bill panel discussion

Joshua Tipper (Aon) - Pensions bill panel discussion

Jade Murray (Addleshaw Goddard) - Pensions bill panel discussion

Edward Starkie (Thomas Murray) - Cyber risk and resilience

The PRAG Executive and its members would also like to convey their thanks to Lydia Song on completion of time as Chair. A lot has happened over the last two years and Lydia expertly guided the organisation to where we are now; nearing completion of the latest SORP and with the new Think Tank in place. At the conclusion of the AGM, Lydia was presented with a thank you gift by the new Chair, Mark Hedges.

The slide deck from the event may be found in the members section of the PRAG website.

PRAG is run for the benefit of its members, and we want to ensure that we continue to deliver what our members want in a way that is timely, useful and accessible. For members to give feedback on the AGM and perhaps more importantly, hear your thoughts on what you would like to see from PRAG in the future please email [email protected].
 
We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did and hope to welcome you back at our 50^th anniversary celebrations on 23 June 2026 at the Royal Society.
