About this event

Business • Non Profit

Pensions administration is often described as the backbone of the industry, essential, but too often overlooked. PASA believes administration is far more than a process, it's central to delivering value, building trust and driving the strategic success of schemes.

This belief sits at the heart of our first ever PASA Edinburgh Conference. Under the theme 'The Whole of the Moon' — inspired by The Waterboys’ iconic song about seeing the bigger picture. This event invites delegates to step back from the day-to-day and explore the wider landscape of pensions administration.

The half-day programme brings together administrators, trustees, regulators and innovators to share insights and debate the future direction of the sector. We’ll hear directly from The Pensions Regulator, take a fast-paced tour of the Scottish pensions landscape, and dive into panels exploring how administration is being reframed as a strategic driver, what delivering on the General Code means in practice, and what early lessons we can learn from the first wave of dashboards connections.

Alongside thought-provoking sessions, the conference offers a chance to connect with peers and industry leaders in an informal setting. With a networking drinks reception rounding off the day, delegates will leave with new perspectives, practical insights and stronger professional connections.

Whether you’re based in Scotland or further afield, this is an opportunity to see pensions administration differently, not in fragments, but in full. To see not just the crescent, but the whole of the moon.
