Dive Into the Details

We couldn’t be more excited to gather our 1,400+ strong team next September! Our meeting will be centered around the theme "Harness the Moment," focusing on celebrating our collective successes, connecting our teams, and igniting excitement for Holmes Murphy's future. This All-Employee Meeting will be a fantastic opportunity for everyone to unite as one team, embrace our shared culture, and propel us into the future. We look forward to meaningful participation and contributions from all employees during our three days together.

See below for further insights into overall meeting details, logistics, expenses, and next steps:

All full-time employees (30+ hours weekly) employed as of March 31, 2026, are eligible to attend. Interns are not eligible to attend.

Yes, pay will continue as usual, and there is no need to submit time off if you choose to attend.

Should you choose not to attend, you will be compensated as usual for time worked and should use a time away code (RTO/PTO) for time away from the office.

We recognize serving clients is always a top priority, especially during a busy season for parts of our business. We will provide ample time along with convenient workspaces to balance celebrating and caring for our clients. For Enterprise Services, we will be working through a plan to ensure resources are available for employees who do not attend.

No, at this time, and until we launch a broader communication plan to our external stakeholders, we ask that you refrain from sharing this news on social media channels (i.e., Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). As our travel dates approach, we will provide more guidance on appropriate external communication for stakeholders, so they are aware and to provide assurance we will continue to care for their needs during our meeting. Until then, we encourage you to celebrate this good news with your Holmes Murphy colleagues internally.

We look forward to celebrating with as many employees as possible but understand there may be circumstances that preclude some from attending. If you are unable to attend, please continue with your normal work hours and in your typical work arrangement.

No, the All-Employee Meeting is only valid on the program dates offered. Harness the Moment is designed to bring our entire team together to celebrate our shared success. As such, there is no cash reimbursement available for employees unable to attend.

No, any year-end bonus will be determined on financial results, excluding the costs of the All-Employee Meeting.

No, the All-Employee Meeting will include elements to ensure we encompass and celebrate these and other events. We want our All-Employee Meeting to feel both productive and special, so we are focusing our time, travel, and resources in 2026 on creating a memorable experience.

Travel Logistics

Lodging will be assigned in single rooms, meaning every employee will have their own space for the duration of the meeting.

No, we have arranged for each employee to have their own room to provide for the best experience.

We will be releasing additional details on our travel plans and details as the dates get closer. We anticipate our registration dates to open in the first quarter of 2026, and additional details will be communicated at that time. Until then, we encourage you to block your calendar!

No, to ensure a focused and productive environment during the meeting, our policy will not permit family members nor guests to stay in hotel rooms booked for employees on September 22–25, 2026. This helps maintain a professional setting and aligns with the purpose of the meeting. The Dependent Travel Reimbursement policy will also not apply to this trip.

Yes, extensions may be available at either end of the scheduled dates for the All-Employee Meeting at an employee’s personal expense. If any guests join you, their arrival and departure dates need to be outside the Holmes Murphy All-Employee Meeting dates of September 22–25. More information will be available in the coming months.

While we are still confirming specific details for our agenda, we anticipate a mix of all-employee meetings, hosted activities, entertainment, and relaxation.
