The 18th Annual NASPP Conference
The NASPP is pleased to announce that our 18th Annual Conference will be held from September 20-23 in Chicago. Building on our almost two decades as the premier event for stock plan professionals, this year's Conference includes four days of critical and timely sessions.
Why the NASPP Annual Conference this Year?
With anger at pay practices at an all-time high, Congress and the regulators are intent on shaking things up, with huge changes afoot for executive compensation, stock plan administration and disclosure—that will impact every public company.
The NASPP is the unquestioned leader in providing critical guidance to all those involved with any role in design, oversight, administration, and disclosure of stock and executive compensation. With public scrutiny and huge exposure at stake like never before, this year's Conference will save every public company many times more than its cost. Even if your company or firm has cut back on travel, this is the one Conference you cannot afford to miss.

Critical Pre-Conference Programs
In addition to the NASPP Conference, you won't want to miss the following pre-Conference programs:
"Tackling Your 2011 Compensation Disclosures: The 5th Annual Proxy Disclosure Conference"
The coming reforms—particularly "Say-on-Pay" and the new disclosures requirements—mark a sea change for executive compensation and will make the 2011 proxy season the most challenging ever. You do not want to head into it unprepared.
"Tackling Your 2011 Compensation Disclosures: The 5th Annual Proxy Disclosure Conference" will be a "must" for anyone who has any role in setting/approving compensation or the preparation or review of proxy statements.
New This Year: "Practical Guide to Performance-Based Awards"
Performance-based awards are one of the hottest trends in stock compensation today, yet few understand the administrative and legal complexities involved with them. It’s critical that companies carefully examine both the legal and administrative implications of these awards and ensure that they design their plan to align with company, executive, and shareholder interests. This intensive one-day program will give you the substantive knowledge necessary to implement or administer this unique and emerging form of equity compensation.

And now, more than ever before, Conference attendees are seeking new solutions and providers to help them adapt to today's rapidly shifting regulatory landscape.
Many repeat exhibitors tell us that the exposure and leads developed at the Conference easily pay for the booths and sponsorships many times over. Most exhibit and sponsor year after year because the Conference is such a successful event for them. The pre- and post-Conference mailing lists alone are worth the cost of exhibiting.
