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.”
