Pave Schedules Total Rewards Live 2026 Summit in San Francisco

Compensation leaders face an increasingly complex landscape where job roles evolve faster than traditional descriptions can accommodate. Designed exclusively for directors and above, the summit aims to move beyond theoretical presentations, providing a space for practitioners to stress-test their strategies against peers from the world’s most innovative firms. Matt Schulman, CEO of Pave, emphasizes that the goal is to provide leaders with defensible answers for their boards rather than generic slide decks.

The agenda addresses critical industry friction points, including the valuation of AI-driven roles and the practical outcomes of transparency legislation. Sessions will scrutinize how equity programs are being redesigned to retain high-demand talent and how teams can integrate AI tools to streamline manual analysis without sacrificing human judgment. The event is supported by key industry advisors, including Alpine Rewards, Compensation Advisory Partners, and Pearl Meyer, reflecting a focus on data-backed decision-making derived from Pave’s dataset of over 9,000 companies.
