Event Overview

Join us in Kuala Lumpur for Total Rewards Forum 2026 - Asia’s Only Total Rewards Forum Designed by Practitioners, for Practitioners.


Total Rewards Forum 2026 is a practitioner-led forum for HR and rewards leaders, built around the theme Total Rewards 2.0: Architecting the New Talent Currency.

In today’s environment, Total Rewards is evolving into a broader talent currency that shapes how organisations attract, engage, and retain critical talent. Architecting this new currency requires HR and rewards leaders to think beyond benchmarks and market norms, and instead design integrated reward strategies that reflect their organisation’s purpose, workforce expectations, and business priorities.

This forum focuses on real business challenges and how Total Rewards and people practices were redesigned, realigned, or actively managed to support them. Each session features a short, focused presentation followed by structured roundtable discussions, where participants exchange perspectives, test ideas, and learn directly from peers facing similar challenges.

Total Rewards Forum 2026 is designed for practitioners who want practical insight, honest discussion, and clearer thinking on how rewards can drive real business outcomes.

What Sets This Forum Apart

Must Attend C&B

Total Rewards Forum 2026 is more than a conference—it is a highly interactive, practitioner-led experience designed to drive meaningful dialogue and practical learning. Grounded in real organisational challenges, the agenda emphasises applied strategy, peer exchange, and lessons drawn from execution, not theory.

Each session features a focused 25-minute presentation by an experienced Total Rewards or HR leader, structured around

  • A real business or talent challenge
  • The current and desired state, including indicators, measures, or evidence
  • Actions taken and solutions implemented
  • Issues or barriers encountered, and how they were managed
  • Outcomes achieved, or expected outcomes where results are still emerging
  • Key learnings and reflections

Each session is then followed by facilitated roundtable discussions , and/or a short Q&A,

Strategic & Future-Focused

Gain insights into new tools and frameworks designed to address tomorrow’s Total Rewards challenges.

Led by Practitioners

Hear from experienced professionals sharing tested strategies—not sales presentations.

Collaborative Learning Format

Engage in structured discussions with peers for deeper understanding and idea exchange.

Actionable Takeaways

Leave with practical solutions you can apply immediately in areas such as attraction, retention, performance, and talent development.
