Inside the 2026 Best Practices Workshop

Every year, the Best Practices Workshop brings together the people who are doing the hard, important work of running better businesses.

Business owners. CFOs. HR leaders. Risk managers. Warehouse and fleet managers. Service providers. People who understand that risk, healthcare, employee benefits, safety, and business performance are all connected.

And when that group gets in one room, the conversations have a way of moving past surface-level ideas and into the kind of practical thinking leaders can take back to their teams.

The 2026 Best Practices Workshop was built around a simple idea: bring smart people together, share what is working, talk honestly about what is not, and send everyone home with something they can actually use.

That is the heart of BPW.

Fresh ideas for a changing business environment

This year’s workshop covered a lot of ground, but a few themes kept rising to the top.

How do businesses prepare for economic uncertainty?

How do employers think differently about healthcare costs?

How do leaders build teams, cultures, and systems that can hold up under pressure?

And maybe most importantly, how do we move from talking about problems to actually doing something about them?

Throughout the workshop, speakers and attendees explored what it takes to lead through uncertainty, improve healthcare experiences, manage costs, build stronger teams, and push past the constraints that can slow progress. The conversations connected big-picture strategy with practical next steps, giving attendees ideas they could bring back to their own organizations and put to work.

More than a workshop

Yes, BPW includes speakers, education, networking, and vendor conversations. But the real energy of the event comes from the people in the room.

These are leaders who are trying to manage risk more effectively, improve healthcare outcomes, support their teams, control costs, and build stronger organizations. They are not just there to listen. They are there to participate.

They ask questions. They share ideas. They compare challenges. They talk about what has worked in their own businesses and what they are still trying to figure out.

That kind of openness is hard to replicate.

It is also what makes the Best Practices Workshop feel different. The conversations are practical, not theoretical. The takeaways are meant to leave the room. And the relationships built during the event often become part of the value long after everyone heads home.

All in good company

The 2026 highlight video captures the spirit of the event better than we can explain it in writing.

You will see the speakers, the energy, the conversations, and the sense of purpose that filled the room. You will also get a glimpse of what makes BPW such a meaningful gathering for clients, partners, and industry peers.

Because at the end of the day, the Best Practices Workshop is about more than one event.
