If you’re in the midst of figuring out your pay vs. performance disclosure, join us next month – at our “Proxy Disclosure & 19th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences” – to get your action plan in place. In response to the SEC’s late-August adoption of final rules, we’ve lengthened the duration of our session on “Pay Versus Performance: Key Compliance Steps” – in which FW Cook’s Bindu Culas, Weil Gotshal’s Howard Dicker, Ropes & Gray’s Renata Ferrari and Latham’s Maj Vaseghi will discuss what the final rules require, key compliance steps, and practice pointers & predictions.

As everyone in this space knows, pay vs. performance is only one of the many important topics that are in motion right now. With game-changing new SEC rules that enhance the focus on director skills and board oversight, record numbers of shareholder proposals, and relentless regulatory & investor scrutiny, your proxy disclosures – and the actions that support them – are more important than ever. In 18 virtual panels over the course of 3 days, our Conferences provide practical guidance about rule changes, Staff interpretations, emerging disclosure risks, investor and proxy advisor positions, executive pay expectations, the board’s role, and more. Here’s the full agenda – and here’s more info about our expert speakers.

Here’s who should attend:

– Anyone responsible for preparing and reviewing proxy disclosures – including ESG and executive pay disclosures and responses to shareholder proposals.

– Anyone responsible for implementing executive and equity compensation plans or who counsels or advises boards on their oversight responsibilities, including CEOs, CFOs, independent directors, corporate secretaries, legal counsel, HR executives and staff, external reporting teams, accountants, consultants, and other advisors.

This is truly a “can’t miss” event for anyone involved with proxy disclosures, corporate governance, and executive compensation. You can still register to join us virtually Wednesday, October 12th – Friday, October 14th.

Conference attendees will not only get access to our unique & valuable course materials (coming soon) – we’ll also be making video archives and transcripts available after the conference, so that you can refer back to all of the practical nuggets when you’re grappling with your executive pay decisions, disclosures and engagements. Plus, our live, interactive format gives you a chance to earn CLE credit and ask real-time questions.

Register today! In addition, check out the agenda for our “1st Annual Practical ESG Conference” – which is happening virtually on Tuesday, October 11th. This event will help you avoid ESG landmines and anticipate opportunities. You can bundle the Conferences together for a discount.
