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.

Beyond Benefits: Whole Person Health in Practice

Healthcare costs are rising, employee needs are becoming more complex, and adding more benefits is no longer the answer.

Beyond Benefits: Whole Person Health in Practice brings together employers and health experts to explore how organizations can connect care, simplify fragmented benefit ecosystems, and get greater value from their existing investments. From primary care and mental health to obesity, AI, and point-solution fatigue, the conference will focus on practical strategies that improve employee health, experience, and affordability.
