About the Series Events
Innovate Series by Aon — Making Better People Decisions
The 2026 Innovate Series is built for HR, Health & Benefits, Retirement and Total Rewards leaders navigating unprecedented change. Each experience distills Aon’s latest market intelligence, cost trends, clinical innovation, talent pressures, AI, financial wellbeing, care access, and regulatory shifts—into clear actions you can take now. You’ll get Aon’s point of view, the data behind it, and pragmatic guidance to help you respond boldly to what’s reshaping employer benefits and total rewards.
Designed to respect your time, Innovate delivers concise, insight‑rich sessions across U.S. cities, pairing current benchmarks with real‑world casework. Expect fast signal over noise: what’s changing, why it matters, and the practical moves to make this year—so you leave with clarity, alignment, and momentum.
