Built around your reward and benefits priorities: The REBA Future Forum 2026 agenda has landed
On Thursday 19 November 2026, the unmissable 10th annual REBA Future Forum returns to help you lead the shift from basic compliance to transformational, business-linked reward leadership.
Designed around your biggest strategic priorities
With over 400 senior reward and benefits professionals already signed up for REBA’s Future Forum 2026, the industry's leaders are getting ready to tackle what’s next.
When asked about their biggest focus areas, this year's delegates identified three core challenges that rose to the top of the reward and benefits agenda.
REBA’s Future Forum 2026 offers 25 specialist sessions, masterclasses and spotlights, three panels and nine demonstrations of the latest innovation which can help tackle these challenges and directly address primary pain points:
Future of pay & reward
Designing modern reward structures that attract, retain, and motivate top talent while effortlessly navigating fast-moving regulatory shifts is a challenge for many leaders in the REBA community.
This year’s agenda directly addresses these demands, featuring key sessions such as:
- Beyond benchmarking: The next era of global benefits intelligence
- Navigating the future: Changing HR obligations in an evolving retirement landscape
- Reimagining the reward operating model: Future-proofing strategy, agility, and governance
- Beyond 2030: Future-proofing benefits for the next decade.
Benefits tech & AI
Navigating the fast-moving landscape of HR tech while meeting employee demand for tailored experiences is a major hurdle for reward leaders. To help you use AI and smart platforms to personalise benefits and optimise performance, key sessions include:
- Opening keynote speaker session on When bots do the work: How to build organisations when there are more bots than humans
- Evolution, revolution or extinction: The future role and value of benefits tech
- From cost centre to core infrastructure: Making the case for benefits technology
- How Aon is driving AI workforce transformation
The evolution of recognition
With hybrid work environments and tightening budgets, proving the return on investment of employee recognition has never been more critical.
Elevating recognition from a nice-to-have perk into a strategic lever is key to driving engagement, wellbeing, retention, and performance. Future Forum 2026 sessions include:
- How Workhuman is harnessing employee recognition for real business impact
- Recognition as an engine for strategy: Making business priorities visible and actionable.
