5 reasons you can’t miss Benifex Energise 2026
02.04.26
On Thursday 7th May, we’re bringing together Reward and Benefits leaders at the Institution of Engineering & Technology in London for Benifex Energise 2026 – our flagship event designed to power what’s next.
This is more than just a day of content. It’s where strategy turns into momentum.
We run this event every year – and it’s one many attendees return to. As one previous guest put it:
“This event was one of the best, if not THE best, business event I have ever been to in my career.”
Across three focused streams – Scale, Deliver, and Power – you’ll explore how leading companies are navigating today’s biggest challenges, from AI-driven change to proving impact and engaging a global workforce.
From customer stories to expert insights, Energise is built to give you fresh perspective, practical ideas, and meaningful connections you can take back into your workplace.
Here are five reasons why Benifex Energise is unmissable:
1. Hear from leaders energising reward and benefits strategy at scale
Take your seat for real-world stories from leaders including BT, OneAdvanced, and Arabelle Solutions – alongside our customer keynote speaker, Arm. And don’t miss an opening session from Benifex Chief Innovation Officer, Gethin Nadin, on The AI workforce shake-up: Fewer people, bigger benefits, higher stakes.
From global transformation to local delivery, you’ll hear how leading companies are evolving their strategies to meet rising expectations – and turning insight into action.
2. Step inside the Power Hub
The Power Hub is where ideas, innovation, and conversation come together.
Speak 1:1 with our Ask Me Anything experts across DEI, wellbeing, Marketplace, pensions and more. Explore the latest Benifex product innovations with our specialists, and connect with partners including Alight, Tusker, Standard Life, Bupa, Hastee and Zellis.
And because this is Energise, you’ll also find a few ways to recharge – from matcha and oxygen bars to curated goodie bags designed to power your day.
3. Be the first to read our 2026 research report
We’ll be unveiling our 2026 research report, exploring how HR, Reward and Benefits leaders can tackle the biggest challenges facing the industry today.
Drawing on insights from 600 employers and 7,000 employees, the report explores how to improve employee understanding and engagement, prove impact and demonstrate value, navigate AI-driven change, and prepare for a more transparent future of reward.
You’ll gain practical guidance to help turn complexity into clarity – and strategy into action.
4. An unmissable keynote
Hear from 2025 Strictly winner and ex-Lioness Karen Carney OBE, sharing powerful lessons on teamwork, adaptability, and what it takes to perform at the highest level.
Drawing on her career as an elite athlete and leader, Karen will bring the Energise theme to life – showing how resilience, shared values, and the ability to evolve can drive performance.
5. Network with peers shaping the future
Connect with fellow Reward and Benefits leaders and exchange ideas with people facing the same challenges as you.
Whether it’s sharing ideas, comparing approaches, or simply expanding your network, Energise is designed to create conversations that continue long after the day ends.
And to close, join us for drinks on the roof terrace – the perfect setting to continue those conversations with peers while taking in views across the London skyline.
