The unique needs of HR’s toughest role

As financial scientists, comp experts require premium skills tooling built for smart, billion-dollar-level decisions.

Dig in with other skills skeptics on what’s next for skills-based comp.

Markets don’t move annually

And neither should you.

Hear how the best leaders use skills-based comp to brief the business on performance, opportunity, and risk.

What makes skills-based comp different in 2025

From custom matching to precise benchmarking, skills-based comp finds its utility in revealing real-time, real accurate market premiums (not in massive architecture redesigns).

Explore smart and practical skills methodology with the industry’s most advanced practitioners.

Co-hosted by DoorDash.

Compalluminati™ 2025 will be at DoorDash headquarters in beautiful San Francisco.
