We’re excited to officially launch the Headwaters Rewards Conference—a premier, one-day experience created by the Twin Cities Compensation Network, for our community of rewards professionals.

Join us on September 25, 2026, at the Minneapolis Marriott West.

Headwaters is designed to bring together the best of our field—practitioners, leaders, and innovators—for a day of meaningful learning, fresh perspectives, and connections that matter. We’re already seeing strong momentum with high-caliber voices committed to participate, and we’re building an agenda that reflects the depth and expertise of our community.

Each session will be 45 minutes, designed to be practical, actionable, and immediately relevant.
