BenefitsDNA Elevated Insights 2026

Join us on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at JPL Production Studios in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for Elevated Insights 2026, an in-person experience designed for employers, fiduciaries, advisors, and leaders who are ready to move beyond knowing the problems and start taking control of outcomes.

Transparency was the starting point. Control is the next evolution.

This year’s Elevated Insights brings together legal experts, operators, innovators, and storytellers to help plan sponsors understand where risk lives, where money leaks, and how to design systems that actually work. You will walk away with practical strategies, sharper awareness, and the confidence to act decisively in a healthcare system that often profits from confusion.

Expect real conversations, zero fluff, and insights you can use immediately.
