2026 Tech Compensation Data Reveal: From Benchmarking to Better Decisions

Presented by Marsh and TAP Network

Connect. Learn. Lead.

The numbers are in. Come see what they mean for 2027.

Tech and People Network (TAP Network) and Marsh (formerly Mercer) are bringing Toronto's People & Culture leaders back together for the first look at the 2026 Tech Salary & Total Rewards Report. Last year's event reached capacity. This year, it's free to attend.

Benchmarks tell you where the market has been. The harder question is what your organization does next. That's what this morning is for.

Meet Sachi Kittur, TAP Network's new CEO, and hear from Marsh's compensation experts. We'll walk through Marsh's global compensation research and the report's findings from 190+ participating Canadian tech companies and 26,700 employees. Then we'll get practical: market pressures, talent trends, and your 2027 compensation plan.

A preview: turnover has halved to 7%. AI now ranks third among the hardest skills to hire.

What you'll get

The report, first. Findings from 190+ Canadian tech companies across software, AI, data science, machine learning and robotics, gaming, clean tech, quantum computing and other emerging sectors.

Global and Canadian market intelligence. The economic indicators, workforce shifts and pay trends shaping how employers compete for talent.

A head start on 2027. Turn the market read into decisions for your 2027 compensation and total rewards strategy.

Peers in the same seat. Roundtables with People & Culture leaders working through the same compensation, compliance and talent questions you are.

Why we're doing this

TAP Network and Marsh want compensation intelligence to do more than benchmark. The aim is decision support: trusted market data, read with human judgment, so People & Culture leaders make stronger workforce and total rewards decisions.

Space is limited again this year so the roundtables stay small. Save your seat while there's room.
