Welcome to the 18th Annual Public Fund Boards Forum
Critical Pension Fund Education to Close Your Funding Gap and Protect Your Beneficiaries!
There is a reason why Public Fund Boards Forum – The country’s first and most widely attended pension education program – attracts more public pension attendees than any other event. This same reason has earned us space on the ‘approved education’ lists for respected plans across the country. Through practical education and peer-to-peer discussion, PFBF will prepare you to make more informed decisions, shrink your funding gap and protect your beneficiaries.
Trustee education is vital to your fund's survival. Don’t miss your one chance this year to get up to speed on every important aspect of pension education, including:
Ethics * Investment Opportunities * Due Diligence * MacroEconomic Outlook * Fiduciary Responsibility * Real Estate Trends * Risk Management * Cost Structuring * Health Benefits * Healthcare Reform * Defined Benefit vs. Defined Contribution * Asset Allocation * Fraud * Manager Selection and Negotiation * Financial Analysis * Consultant Bias * Actuarial Strategies * Alternative Investments * Media Perception * And More!

Why Public Fund Boards Forum?
- Trust the Original: As the first and longest running public fund event, PFBF has earned its reputation as the most effective provider of pension education.
- By Public Funds, For Public Funds: We work closely with our industry advisory board of pension fund trustees to create an agenda that addresses your issues. Each panel includes at least one pension fund representative, and we screen each presentation to weed out sales pitches. Plus, ‘Trustee Only’ activities and sessions create rare opportunities to openly collaborate with your pension fund peers
- Over 30 Hoursof Comprehensive Education = Clear Value For Your Board and Beneficiaries: We know budgets and public scrutiny is at an all-time high, so we’ve made it easy to gain board approval by creating a personal letter which highlight the many educational benefits you’ll receive (see our approval tools menu)
- More Public Funds Than Any Event: Not only do we feature 50 pension speakers, on the program but each year our audience is over 51% composed of public pension trustees, staff and c-level executives.
- Networking – Because there is No Substitute for Face-to-Face Collaboration with Your Pension Fund Peers: No textbook can adequately prepare today’s trustee.
