The LAGERS Employer Administrators & Reporters Network Conference (LEARN) is an annual educational and networking event for LAGERS plan administrators. This year, we are excited to announce that the 2026 conference will offer expanded capacity, allowing more plan administrators to participate. The move to a larger venue will allow more space for sessions, expanded breakout opportunities, and increased networking opportunities.
Each year, LEARN features an extensive program that includes high-impact educational sessions, presentations from industry professionals, and discussions tailored specifically to LAGERS employers. Attendees will leave with the latest guidance on administering LAGERS benefits and valuable connections with LAGERS staff.
