The summit will also feature sessions from global enterprises, including Kraft Foods, General Dynamics, and Pitney Bowes.

"The biggest names and brightest minds in the industry will convene at this summit to exchange best practices for addressing these issues and determine strategies for reducing the time, cost and complexity of managing employee benefits."
The summit provides a unique forum for executives, practitioners, and industry experts to share practical strategies for automating and improving the many processes and transactions that drive the benefits lifecycle. Presentations will include:
- Benchmarking Benefits Planning and Operations Processes
