Compalluminati 2026: managing billions with AI in fast-changing markets

What is happening in the market right now?

• Oil prices are up 90%+ YTD from rising geopolitical instability

• Over half of the S&P 500 tech companies are down YTD as rapid advances in AI breach software moats

• Layoffs are spiking again as companies rethink how work gets done

How does all of this change impact compensation?

At Compa, we attempt to answer a large (and growing) percentage of this question with our intelligence products. To answer the rest; we invest in our compensation community, ranging across webinars, roundtables, dinners, job boards, flash polls, market research and more.

And our biggest community event of the year, Compalluminati, is just one month away.

Here are the details.

Compalluminati is a two-day exclusive summit held each year for compensation leaders at Fortune 500 companies.

We love to co-host the summit with our customers because Compa is built by comp for comp, and that includes building our community. Past years’ summits were held at Roblox, Stripe, and DoorDash.

This year we’re partnering with the phenomenal compensation team at Snowflake at their beautiful Menlo Park headquarters in the Bay Area.

• Dates: May 6-7, 2026

• Location: Snowflake HQ, Menlo Park, California

• Who: Free registration for compensation leaders

• Details: Go to compalluminati.com for agenda

This year’s theme is managing billions with AI in fast-changing markets.

I believe this is the most exciting time in history to be in compensation – the stakes have never been higher and opportunities to create impact have never been more democratized.

What you can expect:

• Learn from your peers, with 26+ leaders speaking from compensation and HR teams at Snowflake, Salesforce, NVIDIA, Cisco, and many more

• Get hands on with the latest AI in comp, including workshops and case studies

• Hear from Compa’s research team about the state of the market and latest trends

• Connect with old friends and make new ones over meals and drinks – community means having fun, too!

And of course, I will have some big announcements to share about our latest innovation at Compa.

We are nearly at capacity – you can register here to join us while spots last.

See you in May!
