Join NEBGH for Red, White and Rooftop, a vibrant summer gathering celebrating connection, community, and 250 years of progress. Set above the city at Paramount’s rooftop terrace, this exclusive evening brings together members for stunning skyline views, seasonal bites, and refreshing cocktails in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Last year’s Summer Gathering brought together a lively room of engaged members, sparked new connections, and created an energy you could feel throughout the evening.

Step away from the day-to-day and enjoy an experience designed for easy conversation, meaningful connections, and time to unwind with peers across the NEBGH community. Space is limited and expected to fill quickly, so be sure to secure your spot.

Pharmacy Benefits 2026
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:
- A clear read on what CAA 2026 and the FTC settlement actually require — and where they create new employer leverage
- A practical framework for auditing your PBM and recovering what you're owed
- Tools for claiming independent data access and building vendor accountability into contracts
- A blueprint for running a transparency-driven RFP — and the employer case studies to back it up
- An honest peer conversation about GLP-1 coverage decisions, direct-to-employer models, and what the next high-cost drug class means for your strategy
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.
