Executive remuneration in the age of AI
Explore the impact of AI at this year’s European Executive Reward Conference
For the past decade, our Executive Remuneration Research Centre has collected data on CEO pay across Europe. And this year, we’ve taken an exciting and bold new approach. For the first time ever, we built the CEO pay database with the support of a large language model. This opens the door to a broader conversation: How will AI reshape the ways we design and manage executive pay?
Join us online for the 2025 European Executive Reward Conference. You’ll get the latest expert and AI-driven insights into CEO pay in Europe. It will be an eye-opening exploration of how AI can enhance the effectiveness of executive reward in your organisation.
This year’s conference combines a deep dive into CEO pay data with a future-focused look at how AI can be leveraged to impact executive pay practices.
Join us for data, debate and fresh perspectives from research, practice – and companies already experimenting with AI in remuneration. You’ll:
- Discover the latest CEO pay facts and figures
- Get a preview of a customised ChatGPT built for executive compensation
- Explore how AI can improve strategic KPI setting
