In order to maximize the opportunity for our clients to attend our 2023 Fiduciaries’ Forum, we will be hosting this event in two locations – Nossaman’s offices in San Francisco on October 5th and Los Angeles on October 30th.
This exclusive one-day event is designed to provide trustees, executive staff, investment officers and in-house counsel with invaluable knowledge and connections in the ever-evolving landscape of public pension systems. We are excited to bring together a distinguished panel of Nossaman attorneys, renowned for their expertise and commitment to serving you. In addition, we have invited a few special guests to share their invaluable insights on a variety of critical topics to help you navigate the complex challenges you face.
Attendance is limited to three attendees per retirement system, per venue (with exceptions provided if space permits within two weeks of the Forum at each location).
