Overview

In the fall, most universities schedule in-person benefits fairs. The Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) and benefits plan vendors host virtual benefits sessions. In-person benefits fairs and virtual benefits sessions are great opportunities for you to ask questions about the robust benefits available to you as a University of Wisconsin employee.

Benefits Fairs – In-person

In the fall, most universities will host in-person benefits fairs. Review the benefits fair schedule to see if your university will host an in-person benefits fair.

Benefits Forums – Virtual

ETF is hosting virtual benefit forums for you to connect with benefits vendors. The benefit forums will provide the same personal interaction with a vendor as a benefit fair from the safety of your own home or office. Attendance is optional. You must pre-register.

The forums are 45-60-minutes and you can attend one or multiple sessions. Each session will include a short presentation followed by questions and answers. All general, vendor-appropriate questions are welcome. Please do not ask questions that include personal identifiable information (PII) or protected health information (PHI).
