TR27 WorldatWork Total Rewards Conference 2027
April 25, 2027 - April 28, 2027
$1,395TR27 is WorldatWork’s flagship conference for rewards, HR and business professionals, held at Music City Center in Nashville from Sunday, April 25 to Wednesday, April 28, 2027.
Who it is for
Total rewards, compensation and benefits professionals, along with HR and people leaders, benefits and wellbeing strategists, workforce and culture innovators, HR technology and analytics leaders, and employee experience teams. WorldatWork says it covers people from emerging leaders to the C-suite.
Why go
The 2027 tagline is Bring Great Work to Life. Content runs across eight learning tracks: rewards, employee experience, AI and technology management, talent management, leadership and management, organizational effectiveness, future of work and personal development. The format is interactive workshops, hands-on sessions and collaborative discussions rather than a lecture-only program. Speakers have not been announced.
Tickets and prices
The individual launch rate is $1,395, and WorldatWork notes limited spots at that price. Teams of three or more pay $1,200 per person, and teams of five or more receive one extra complimentary registration and an invitation to the VIP Reception. International delegations of three or more are priced the same way. Every ticket includes keynotes, breakouts, expo hall access, breakfast and lunch each day, evening receptions, the TR27 app, the hotel room block rates and selected on-demand recordings. Cancellations are accepted until March 12, 2027.
Is it worth going?
If compensation, benefits or recognition sits in your remit, this is the central annual gathering, and the team rate makes it easy to send a small group. For employee experience leaders, the dedicated EX track and the link between pay, benefits and the day-to-day experience make it useful, although only part of the program speaks to you. Internal comms leaders who do not work with rewards teams will find less to apply. At $1,395 it costs less than most of the large research-led conferences, and the meals and receptions are included. WorldatWork also offers a Convince Your Boss page, which is useful if you need to make a business case. The lowest rate is described as limited, so booking earlier rather than later is sensible.
