Global Benefits Forum - Europe 2026
20-21 MAY | LONDON
Leading an employee benefits strategy and designing benefit programes in a world that never stands still isn’t easy. New laws, social shifts, and the push for purpose-driven workplaces demand more than flexibility. As the future of work evolves and expectations rise, the challenge of attracting and retaining talent has never been greater. You need clear direction, teamwork and bold ideas.
The power of Connected Intelligence
The future demands smarter, more integrated decision‑making. At this year's Global Benefits Forum, we explore Connected Intelligence — how the right blend of human expertise, data-led insights and cultural awareness can create the clarity you need to deliver global strategies that align to your organisation's purpose and vision.
Expect sessions that move beyond theory. You’ll gain:
- Clear perspectives on the paradoxical forces reshaping global benefits
- Practical guidance for designing programmes that resonate across borders and cultures
- Actionable insights to turn global complexity into strategic opportunity
- Real‑world conversations with peers facing the same cross‑border challenges
