Paris Alignment Forum

Forum sponsors

The Paris Alignment Forum

The forum operates on a quarterly cycle of:

  • All-stakeholder events, consisting of a keynote presentation, followed by small group breakout discussions.
  • Peer-to-peer meetings for pension funds and other asset owners to share experiences, discuss challenges and learn from each other.
  • Morning coffee/afternoon tea discussions relevant to this agenda.
  • Training opportunities.
  • Newsletters, signposting relevant updates, content and events.
Forthcoming PAF events are shown opposite, along with the most recent relevant content.

You are also able to search relevant content on our platform using the ‘Paris Alignment Forum’ tag – see applicable articles on this important agenda here.
