Perspectives 2027

The decisions already on the table.

Working week

46 hours from January, with no cut to pay or benefits.

Where do the two hours land: shifts, headcount or productivity?

Inflation

Headline inflation is back in range; core inflation is not.

How much to increase without overreacting to a number employees don't feel?

Strong peso

Fewer pesos for every dollar exported.

How much margin is left for pay and benefits?

Pay transparency

Pay gaps are getting harder to explain.

Would your pay architecture survive being opened up?

USMCA

The review is open and tariffs are unresolved.

Which scenarios does the 2027 budget have to withstand?

AI

Productivity stops being an IT conversation.

Which roles change in value and which don't?

The program

Two full days, two different decisions.

Two full days, each with its own focus: the Total Rewards Update Seminar on December 2, and the Perspectives 2027 Congress on the 3rd. Each full day includes coffee, lunch, working materials and a certificate of attendance.

01
Day 1 · December 2
Total Rewards Update Seminar
Applied full day on Total Rewards and AI: what changes in Compensation & Benefits work when AI enters the process. Tools, cases and practical decisions for transforming the function.
02
Day 2 · December 3
Congress · Perspectives 2027
Full day of outlook: wage pressure and salary outlook, 2027 budget, economy, regulation, talent and competitiveness, with the global compensation firms.
The format

Two days, and you buy the one you need.

Guadalajara isn't the full summit in a shorter version: it's two independent full days, each with its own focus and its own price. You take the Seminar, the Congress, or the Full Pass for both.

International keynote

AI in Total Rewards, from inside a multinational.

TR2050 and WorldatWork are the two bodies that set the global Total Rewards standard. Piker sits on the council of the former.

Who's in the room

For those who decide
total rewards.

The audience is national: the room is built with teams from Mexico City, Monterrey, Querétaro, the Bajío and western Mexico. Each full day solves a different problem, so some profiles come for one and others need both.

Compensation leaders

VPs, Directors and Managers of Total Rewards, Benefits and Global Mobility. The Seminar on the 2nd is their day: what changes in the function's work when AI enters the process.

HR executives

CHROs and HR Directors who need to align talent strategy with the financial goals of the business. Both days bear on their remit equally.

Finance leaders (CFO)

Finance and Planning Directors optimizing labor costs and the ROI of human capital. The Congress on the 3rd is their day: wage pressure, 2027 budget, economy and regulation.

Previous editions

What they say those who already came.

Testimonials from attendees of previous editions of the Mexican Compensation & Benefits Summit.

Me llevo la importancia de que RH integre sus métricas al lenguaje del negocio. No tenerle miedo a experimentar con la IA para aumentar nuestra productividad y ser más estratégicos.
María Luisa Marcano
C&B Summit · Panama 2026
Hay que repensar los modelos de compensación que están en la compañía. Deben irse moviendo con los objetivos estratégicos del negocio para que sean palanca de los resultados.
Jenniffer Osorio
C&B Summit · Panama 2026
Me llevo la necesidad de implementar la IA con más estrategia y no tanto como una mera «exploración».

Venue and hotel

It all happens in the same place.

The summit takes place inside the hotel, and the hotel is the same one behind the lodging benefit: no commuting between the room and the session. The audience is national —the room is built with teams from Mexico City, Monterrey, Querétaro, the Bajío and western Mexico— which is why the Full Pass benefit offers a lodging alternative instead of a discount.

Official venue · Host hotel
Hotel Riu Plaza Guadalajara
Av. Adolfo López Mateos Sur 830 Chapalita 44500 Guadalajara, Jalisco
The event is in the hotel itself

Both full days take place in the hotel's meeting rooms. There is no transfer between lodging and session.

Lodging at the same venue

The complimentary night from the Full Pass benefit is at this hotel, subject to LBS hotel-block availability.

18 meeting rooms

The hotel runs 18 meeting and conference rooms, which is what makes it possible to host both full days and the applied workshops on the same floor.

A single point of contact

Your LBS advisor coordinates registration, invoicing and lodging in one process: if you're travelling in, you don't arrange the trip separately.

Need additional nights? Our team helps you arrange lodging based on availability and the terms of the LBS block.

Full Pass benefit

Your Full Pass includes one benefit of your choice.

Choose one of the two They don't combine
Option A
2-for-1

Bring a colleague: you pay one Full Pass and two people attend. Both attend both days. It can't be split by day or applied to a single-day ticket.

Option B
1 hotel night

Travel to Guadalajara: one Full Pass participant, one room, one night at the host hotel. Subject to LBS hotel-block availability.

You choose one of the two benefits. They don't combine. The Full Pass costs the same with either one, and single days carry no offer.

Tour editions

If you're looking for the full experience.

Guadalajara is sold by the day: you take the one that solves your problem and don't pay for the one you don't. If what you're looking for is the full experience —the whole program, the whole lineup and the national room in a single window—, that's the Monterrey edition, November 11–13.
