☕ Member-Only Monthly TR Roundtable: The Total Rewards Cafe

Gather. Discuss. Connect.

We are thrilled to launch The Total Rewards Cafe, a new exclusive, member-only monthly virtual event designed for the BC Total Rewards Network community to gather, share insights, and discuss the most pressing and timely issues shaping our profession.

This isn't a lecture—it's your chance to step away from the formal presentation and connect with your peers in an intimate, interactive setting.

What is The Total Rewards Cafe?

The Cafe is a casual, high-value, and interactive monthly roundtable where Total Rewards professionals can discuss "what's on their mind" right now.

• Format: Virtual, small-group, roundtable/cafe style discussion.

• Exclusivity: Strictly open only to current BCTRN members.

• Frequency: Recurring monthly sessions. 

When and Where is The Total Rewards Cafe?

• April 10th - 9:30am - 10:30am
• May 1st - 9:30am - 10:30am
• June 12th - 9:30am - 10:30am
• July 3rd - 9:30am - 10:30am

For now these will be virtual, but we'll consider doing some in-person in the near future if there's demand or if someone can help host us at a central Vancouver location.

How It Works:

Every month, a fellow BCTRN member will volunteer to host or facilitate the session. We are keeping the format flexible to ensure maximum relevance and engagement:

1. Hot Topics: Discussions will focus on the most relevant, current, and challenging Total Rewards topics of the month, as determined by the participants.

2. Interactive Focus: Expect an atmosphere of open dialogue, peer-to-peer knowledge exchange, and sharing of practical challenges and solutions.

3. Experimental Approach: We will be experimenting with different formats—sometimes we may pre-set a focused topic, and other times we may vote on discussion points live at the start of the session. Your feedback in the first few months will help shape the perfect format!

Why Attend?

• Timely Relevance: Discuss issues that are impacting you right now, in a rapidly evolving TR landscape.

• Peer-to-Peer Insight: Learn directly from the experiences of other TR leaders and practitioners across BC.

• Intimate Networking: Build stronger, more meaningful connections with your fellow BCTRN members in a smaller group setting.
