American Retirement Association Announces ERISA 50th Anniversary Symposium and Gala

Inside ASPPA

Happy Birthday, ERISA!

It’s been 50 years since the Congress passed landmark legislation that protected the savings of American workers and—arguably—created an entire industry. It’s now time for the golden anniversary.

The American Retirement Association announced that it and eight associations will host the ERISA 50th Anniversary Symposium and Gala on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, to mark five decades since the landmark law’s passage.

The ERISA 50th Anniversary Symposium is a dynamic one-day program designed to honor, reflect upon, and envision the past, present, and future of ERISA. As we survey the evolving landscapes of retirement, health care and other employee benefits, the symposium will provide a platform for engaging discussions and insights from thought leaders. For those unable to join in person, the Symposium will be accessible virtually.

The Symposium will be followed by the ERISA 50th Anniversary Gala. Hosted at a historic site in the heart of Washington, DC, the gala promises an evening of elegance and celebration.

The ERISA 50th Anniversary Symposium and Gala will be a convergence of the brightest leading thinkers, creating an educational and entertaining experience like no other.

In addition to the American Retirement Association, other host associations include:

  • AARP
  • The American Council of Life Insurers
  • American Benefits Council
  • AHIP
  • Defined Contribution Institutional Investment Association
  • The ERISA Industry Committee
  • Investment Company Institute
  • U.S. Chamber of Commerce
