Employer-sponsored healthcare has never been more complex. An escalating stop-loss market, mounting pressure to contain skyrocketing claims and drug costs, and numerous regulatory challenges are forcing your clients to make impossible decisions when balancing business objectives with the health and wellness of their employees.
The Council is pleased to convene EB leaders from across the globe to address these challenges at our 2026 Employee Benefits Leadership Forum (EBLF).
ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS LEADERSHIP FORUM
For more than 20 years, The Council has hosted EBLF to facilitate personal connections and long-lasting relationships between the leading brokers, carriers and strategic benefits partners in the employer-sponsored health insurance market.
EBLF is your annual opportunity to meet with benefits leaders from across the country – in one place at one time.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
Employees are the centerpiece of the broker-client relationship, and they expect tailored healthcare coverage options that meet their needs and the needs of their families. Over the course of several days, EBLF attendees will connect with industry peers, build relationships with key partners and collaborate on effective ways to support employers and their workforce.
