2026 Tech Compensation Data Reveal:

From Benchmarking to Better Decisions 
 

Presented by Marsh and TAP Network

Connect. Learn. Lead.

The numbers are in. Be among the first to see what they reveal.

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s event, Marsh - formerly Mercer and now part of the new, expanded Marsh brand, and TAP Network are bringing Toronto’s People & Culture community together once again for an exclusive first look at the compensation data shaping Canada’s tech sector.

This year’s event marks an exciting new chapter for both organizations. Meet Sachi Kittur, TAP Network’s new CEO, and hear from the compensation experts at Marsh.

We’ll unpack findings from Marsh’s global compensation research and reveal highlights from TAP Network’s 2026 Canadian Tech Sector Salary & Total Rewards Survey, featuring data from more than 190 companies and close to 27,000 employees.

We’ll move beyond the numbers to explore what the findings mean for your organization, from evolving market pressures and talent trends to 2027 compensation planning. 

Connect with leading People & Culture professionals, challenge your thinking and leave with the intelligence you need to make confident compensation decisions in the year ahead.

Together with Marsh, our goal is to bring trusted market intelligence, data and human judgment together to support TAP members in making stronger, more informed workforce and total rewards decisions. As TAP continues to expand its focus on data and insights, we are looking at how compensation intelligence can evolve beyond  benchmarking toward more dynamic, decision support.
