- Can I receive the member discount on conference rates if someone
else at my company/firm is a member of CompensationStandards.com?
No. You can only receive the member discount – which is over 50%! - if you
have your own single user membership or are at a company/firm that has an
Unlimited or Firmwide license that provides you with access to
CompensationStandards.com.
For example, if you work in an office that is covered by either an unlimited
or firmwide license to CompensationStandards.com – you are eligible for the
member discount to attend live or by webcast. However, if someone in your office
has a single membership and you don’t – you need to become a member yourself to
receive the member discount.
If you are uncertain as to whether you are a member of
CompensationStandards.com, send us an email at
info@compensationstandards.com and we can let you know.
- What is the the schedule and who will be speaking at the Executive
Compensation Conference?
Here is the
Agenda & Schedule.
Note that several bonus panels listed at the end of the agenda
will be shown only by video webcast. This is because we are offering such a full
agenda – well beyond a normal day’s worth of conference. Those that pay to
attend live in Las Vegas will be able to access the video archive of those
panels when they return to the office. (For more on accessing the panels at a
later time, see Q&A #7.)
Those that attended last year’s highly acclaimed conference know the caliber
of the content and that we carefully select our speakers so that practical
guidance is the order of the day. This year’s conference will be even more
practical and will be critical for every director (and advisor) to attend.
- How much does the Executive Compensation Conference Cost?
Our pricing is available
here. Note that we have priced this conference to encourage the largest
possible attendance and members of CompensationStandards.com can attend at less
than half the regular rate! It’s not too late to become a member of
CompensationStandards.com to qualify for the member rate - and gain access to
all the valuable information on this site.
If you need any assistance, please contact us at
info@compensationstandards.com or 925.685.5111 (note this is a West Coast
phone number, operative between 8 am – 4 pm West Coast time).
- Why does my company/firm need a Firmwide users license?
With the stakes so high now, many companies and law firms are taking
advantage of the Firmwide no-risk trial—so that all your outside directors and
staff can access the many resources on CompensationStandards.com NOW.
(Even if you have an existing membership to CompensationStandards.com, you can
upgrade to a firmwide license and enable all your outside directors and staff to
access this crucial program; you will receive a credit for any money you have
already paid).
- Will my NASPP ID and password work for CompensationStandards.com?
No. Naspp.com is for NASPP members and CompensationStandards.com is for
members of CompensationStandards.com.
However, those that paid to attend the NASPP Annual Conference in Las Vegas
will be free to attend any – or all – of the live panels from the Executive
Compensation Conference (but will be unable to access the video archive when
they return to the office unless they pay separately for the Executive
Compensation Conference).
- If I paid to attend the NASPP Annual Conference in Las Vegas, can
I attend the 3rd Annual Executive Compensation Conference?

can go back and watch/listen to the conference at any time until the end of 2006
(unless you decide to renew your membership to CompensationStandards.com for
2007; then, you would continue to have access to the video archive).
However, those that paid to attend the NASPP Annual Conference in Las Vegas –

CompensationStandards.com for 2007; then, you would continue to have access to
the video archive).
- Can I pay for the Executive Compensation Conference even though I am
not a member of CompensationStandards.com?
Sure. But note that it costs less to pay for both the
conference and a membership than to pay the non-member conference rates. We
believe that nearly all members of CompensationStandards.com will decide to
attend the conference either in Las Vegas or by video webcast.
You should note that this conference is priced so that it’s cheaper than any
other comparable conference rate we can find, because we truly want responsible
practices to be implemented as soon – and as widely - as possible!

Lawyers can earn CLE for most states if they attend live - and even earn credit in certain states if they attend by video webcast. Please contact us at

In addition, if they attend live in Las Vegas or by video webcast, directors can earn continuing education credit as this program is accredited by ISS.

Yes. If they attend live in Las Vegas or by video webcast, directors can earn continuing education credit as this program is accredited by ISS. To obtain credit, you will just need to let ISS know which directors attended the Conference.
