Public Funds Summit East 2026 is Opal Financial Group’s annual gathering dedicated to addressing the complex challenges facing public pension funds today, with a focus on balancing risk, reward, and fiduciary responsibility. Designed for senior public pension fund officers, trustees, and plan sponsors, the summit provides an educational forum to explore funding liabilities, investment performance in a low-return environment, manager selection and evaluation, and the impact of surplus returns on employee benefit plans. Discussions also extend beyond investments to cover legal considerations, ethics regulations, and the importance of ongoing fiduciary education.
The summit emphasizes open dialogue and peer-to-peer exchange in a non-promotional setting, featuring consultant- and pension fund–led panel discussions. Networking begins with a Morning Harbor Excursion, offering a distinctive and engaging start to the event. To preserve the educational integrity of the conference, PowerPoint presentations are prohibited during panel sessions and permitted only for standalone speakers strictly for educational purposes, ensuring a thoughtful, insight-driven experience for all attendees.
