​BEYOND BENEFITS
​Elevate, Empower, Excel
We are thrilled to create Beyond Benefits, a one-day experience designed to help you get clarity, answers, and practical tools now that your new renewal rates and benefit changes have taken effect.
​Your Day at a Glance
You’ve secured your spot now here’s what to expect.
Beyond Benefits is designed for decision-makers facing real pressure: rising costs, evolving employee expectations, and a post-renewal environment that demands action. This isn’t a lecture. It’s a practical, on-the-ground experience where you’ll engage directly with the people who shape your plan, and walk away with insight you can actually use.
​
This year also marks a major shift. With the official launch of Allshores, employers are now supported by a unified platform with stronger coordination, deeper expertise, and greater scale. You’ll gain early access to what this transformation entails and how it can benefit your people and bottom line.
​
The event is fully interactive. You’ll move at your own pace, join the sessions that matter most, and explore live demos, installations, and expert zones. Bring your phone — we’re going digital with tools, giveaways, and live polling to keep things sharp.​
Voices of the event
At Beyond Benefits, the usual roles are reversed — the people who typically stay behind the scenes are stepping forward, ready to speak directly and candidly with you.
​
You’ll hear from voices that span the full benefits ecosystem:
-
Executive leadership unpacking premium pressure
-
HR leaders sharing lived realities from the front lines
-
Clinical experts tackling mental health and burnout
-
Client and digital teams breaking down what’s changing — and why it matters now
​
Throughout the day, sessions are moderated and led by the people who’ve shaped this year’s strategy, including surprise guests and returning favourites like Dr. Jennifer Card, who brings sharp insight into workplace stress and team health.
Meanwhile, veteran journalist Jeremy Deacon will be live from our Media Command Centre — capturing key takeaways, spotlighting guests, and inviting you to join the conversation.
​
This isn’t passive listening. It’s active engagement built to be real, relevant, and responsive to what employers need right now.
