Early Bird Registration! Our Proxy Disclosure & 20th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences

We’ve now posted the links for early-bird registration for our “2023 Proxy Disclosure & 20th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences.” The conferences will be fully-virtual from September 20th to 22nd. We’ve also posted a preview of the topics & speakers. This is a milestone year (two decades!), and the practical guidance our panelists share is more important than ever as we face an incredibly active SEC and a challenging economic, political and well…everything…environment.

Here’s what Liz shared on TheCorporateCounsel.net on why this is a can’t miss event:

We’re particularly excited about the fact that Corp Fin Director Erik Gerding will be sitting down with our very own Dave Lynn for an interview about his latest views on Corp Fin priorities & expectations.

This interview in itself is a compelling reason to be there. But if you (or your boss) need more convincing, consider these benefits (feel free to pass these along to whomever approves your budgeting requests):

– The Conferences are timed & organized to give you the very latest action items that you’ll need to prepare for the flurry of year-end and proxy season activity. Why spend time & money tracking down piecemeal updates to share with your higher-ups & board – all while you’re under a deadline and have other pressing obligations, increasing the risk of mistakes – when you can get all of the key pointers at once?

– Unlike some conferences, the on-demand archives (and transcripts!) will be available at no additional charge to attendees after the event, and you can continue to access them all the way till July 2024. That means you can continue to refer back to the sessions as issues arise. Again, saving time & money.

– Due to new SEC rules, the shareholder proposal environment, the increasing emphasis on risk oversight and pressures that companies are facing from both ends of the political spectrum, the performance of boards, individual directors and – thanks to Delaware’s latest spin on Caremark, individual officers – will be subject to greater & greater scrutiny in the coming proxy seasons. That could affect director elections, as well as your company’s ability to raise capital, and your directors’ and officers’ exposure to derivative claims. Our expert panelists will be sharing practical action items to protect your board & officers – and risks to watch out for. Facing a low vote for any director is a nightmare scenario, even if you’re not the target of a proxy contest. This event will empower you to avoid that situation.

– There’s an “early bird” rate!! We understand budgets are very tight and that more cuts could be coming. If you sign up now, you get the best price. This helps us plan ahead, and helps you save money. Register online by credit card – or by emailing sales@ccrcorp.com. Or, call 1.800.737.1271.
