Completely Reimagined—with a laser focus on you.

Employee Benefits News' BENEFITS AT WORK has a new mission: to serve only HR and benefits professionals at employer organizations. It’s your community, your content, your time.

We've realigned every session, speaker, and experience to speak directly to the challenges and priorities facing today’s HR and benefits leaders. From peer-driven strategy sessions to curated roundtables, this is where employer-side professionals gather to share what’s working, ask tough questions, and build a playbook for what’s next.

It’s not a tradeshow—it’s a high-impact, community-driven event designed to help you lead with confidence and clarity.

Because now more than ever, HR leaders need a space that’s built for them—and only them.
