We Give You "Ten Good Reasons" To Register for the Conference Now!

To accomplish our goal of encouraging all directors and their advisors to implement responsible executive compensation practices, we list ten reasons why you should attend the “2^nd Annual Executive Compensation Conference”:

A Shared Sense of Purpose - Although this Conference will be chock full of practical implementation guidance, the overriding mission is for us all to accomplish something responsible.
Those of you that attended last year’s Conference – more than 2700 live and by webcast – can attest to the fact that this mission provides satisfaction in a way that a typical conference cannot.
Loads of Practical Guidance - This Conference is not about merely identifying what is wrong with executive compensation practices today; we already did that in our “12 Steps to Responsible Guidance” in the May-June 2004 and Sept-Oct 2004 issues of The Corporate Counsel, which are still freely available on the right hand column of CompensationStandards.com.
This Conference will go even beyond last year’s guidance to provide specific practice pointers and “how to’s” in a variety of areas, such as tally sheets and internal pay benchmarking.
And don’t forget that attendees of this Conference get a reduced rate to stay in Chicago for a few more days and take in the 13^th Annual NASPP Conference, which will have more than 40 panels on compensation-related topics.
Experts Unlike Any Others - To make clear to fellow CEOs and directors the importance of implementing responsible compensation practices, we have assembled a number of important luminaries – current and former CEOs - to provide their own practical thoughts on responsible compensation practices, such as John Reed, the distinguished CEO of Citigroup for many years and former Chair of the NYSE.
At the Conference, a panel of these CEOs will be followed by panels containing a host of practitioners who are the foremost experts in their field and well-known for providing practical implementation guidance.
Meet the Changing Regulatory Environment – The regulators – and courts – continue to make executive compensation the “Number One” issue for them to address; most recently evidenced by the SEC’s suit against Tyson Foods for perk disclosure. In fact, it is this Conference that the SEC Corp Fin Director gave his influential speech on compensation disclosure.
For directors, in any action brought in court, judges will look to whether you made a true effort to keep abreast of the latest guidance and standards. Attendance at this Conference may be the best form of D&O insurance that you could have!
Replay the Conference at Your Fingertips – Because a video archive of the entire Conference is available to those attending the Conference, you will be able to return to your office and replay any segments that you missed – or wish to see again.
We have heard from many attendees of last year’s Conference that this was a feature that they hadn’t initially realized would be so valuable (as they have referred to the Conference archives to refresh their memory with the practical guidance again and again in their daily practice).
Gain Access to Last Year’s Conference Today - One of the true hidden benefits of registering now for the Conference is that you gain immediate access to the video archive of last year’s Conference, all of which is as relevant today as it was back in the Fall. We have heard nothing but rave reviews about how practical that Conference was – and still is!
Valuable Course Materials – As we made available for last year’s Conference, this year’s Conference will include written course materials – posted on the site - that will supplement the practical guidance provided orally by the speakers. These course materials are in addition to all the valuable materials that already reside on CompensationStandards.com.
Ability to Ask Questions of the Experts – Unlike any other conference, you will have access to many of the speakers long after the Conference is held – through our popular Q&A Forum. If you are a member of CompensationStandards.com, you can post questions (anonymously if you wish) in the Q&A Forum, and one of the many experts that receive the question will likely post a response.
More Than Reasonable Cost – Because we believe in the mission of this Conference so much, we have priced this Conference well below what other conferences charge – CompensationStandards.com members can attend the Conference for only $495; most conferences cost well over $1000!
Satisfy Continuing Education Credits – Directors can earn ISS director education credit for attending this Conference (either live or by webcast) and lawyers can earn CLE credit in many states.
