CHARLESTON, S.C., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a technology platform provider enabling
rapid innovation for employers, health plans and
consumers, today announced it is launching a series of
interactive virtual events that will provide actionable insight on
topics of importance to the benefits industry. One Place Now
will offer participants a chance to hear from peers and industry
experts and, by using polls and Q&A sessions, discuss
issues such as the future of health care, total wellbeing and using
data to drive decisions.
In addition, in recognition of the demands on our partners'
times and budgets during this uncertain period, Benefitfocus'
annual benefits technology and business conference, One
Place® 2021, will be
conducted as a virtual event, and is scheduled for Tuesday, March 2 and Wednesday, March 3, 2021.
In planning for One Place 2021, Benefitfocus learned that its
community had come to appreciate the opportunity to gather
virtually and engage in discussions around the challenges currently
facing them. With that in mind, it decided to create One Place Now,
a series of enhanced webinars, to provide actionable insights.
The first One Place Now event is scheduled for Thursday, August 20 from 1 - 1:45 p.m. ET and
features Dr. Rubin Pillay, the assistant dean at the School of
Medicine, and the chief innovation officer of the Health System at
the University of Alabama in
Birmingham. During his session, Healthcare 3.0: How
Technology is Driving the Transition to Prosumers, Platforms and
Outsurance, Dr. Pillay will share his perspectives on resolving
the cost, quality and access challenges that have plagued health
care for the last few decades.
"The last several months have taught us about flexibility,
versatility and, perhaps most importantly, what it means to be part
of a community. We're committed to bring our community of
employers, brokers, health plans and benefit providers everything
they have come to love about One Place – just in the comfort of
their own home or office," said Ray
August, President and CEO of Benefitfocus. "We've also
learned that regular interaction, especially in these trying times,
increases the impact of that connection, which led us to launch One
Place Now."
Benefitfocus will present the One Place Now events every other
month, with additional webinars scheduled in response to specific
opportunities to host speakers of interest.
One Place 2021
One Place is Benefitfocus' annual
user conference that connects the entire benefits ecosystem to
discuss industry dynamics and explore solutions that will shape the
future. Employers, health plans, brokers and benefits providers
from across the country will join us virtually for two days of
collaboration, networking and inspiration.
Benefitfocus is working with its community to create an agenda
of topics of value to all parties and researching the best way to
virtually engage with them. Further details on the program will be
announced in the coming months.
