A Careful Orchestration: Two Days of Intensive Say-on-Pay Workshops
– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
I’ve now been in this business quite a long time and I can honestly say that the upcoming pair of say-on-pay conferences will be a career peak for me. I’m proud of the high caliber of panelists that I have procured – and I’m now spending several months carefully orchestrating what topics each panel will cover so that there is minimal overlap. In fact, any overlap is intentional as there are numerous panels that have a distinct perspective.
There is a panel comprised solely of institutional investors; two panels with just ISS and Glass Lewis. There is a great panel with experienced corporate directors. But that’s not all – I have tailored many of the panels so they will drill down on practical topics that you hold dearly, such as “How to Work with ISS & Glass Lewis: Navigating the Say-on-Pay Minefield” and “Failed Say-on-Pay? Lessons Learned from the Front.” Check out the agendas for the conferences and see for yourself.
With the economy going into another funk – and anger over CEO pay likely to hit a fever pitch in an election year – I do believe that next year will bear out that this year was just a “test year” and many companies whose pay sailed through in ’11 could experience real struggles next season. This pair of conferences – focusing on both disclosures and practices – takes place on November 1st-2nd in San Francisco and by video webcast. Register now.
If you are experiencing budget woes but recognize that these conferences are a “must” – drop me a line as always.
