The pharmacy landscape has changed. CAA 2026, the FTC/Express Scripts settlement, and a wave of employer-driven audits and RFPs have shifted what's possible — and what's expected. This is a working session for senior benefits leaders who are ready to act.
What you'll walk away with:
The employers in this room are wrestling with the same questions you are — and being in the room together is how the answers start to take shape. That's worth a day in New Jersey.

The doctors are in!
Dive into hot health topics with the experts and hear what you might need to do for your employees.
Healthcare benefits usage is inherently episodic. Employees don't think in benefits categories—they think about the problem they're trying to solve.
Nearly 50% of employers are evaluating point-solution consolidation, yet many may be solving for complexity rather than the root cause of low utilization. Why do employees continue to struggle to engage despite growing investments in benefits, navigation, and digital health solutions?
Traditional benefits platforms were built on the assumption that employees would proactively seek out information. In reality, employees look for help only when a need arises—and that's often when critical information is hardest to find.

This year marks a major milestone—the 15th Annual NEBGH Conference—now elevated to a larger, more dynamic setting. As the premier event for employers, benefits leaders, and innovators, the conference will spotlight the future of healthcare, workforce well-being, and benefits strategy. This event is where leaders driving change come together to shape strategy and pioneer solutions.
With projected health benefit cost increases approaching 9% and growing scrutiny around GLP-1 coverage, PBM strategy, and vendor performance, employers are increasingly expected to defend not only outcomes—but the decisions behind them.
Fiduciary responsibility is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It requires documented oversight, transparent decision-making, and governance processes that can withstand CFO, regulatory, and legal review.
This session focuses on what fiduciary proof looks like in practice and how employers and advisors can implement governance frameworks that are continuous, documented, and financially defensible.
