Today: “Hot Topics: The Corporate Counsel Speaks” Conference

Lots of big doings yesterday for our “2nd Annual Proxy Disclosure” Conference. Tune in today for more of the same with: “Hot Topics: The Corporate Counsel Speaks” Conference. The Conference opens with a blockbuster keynote from SEC Enforcement Director Linda Chatman Thomsen.

To watch, come to the home page of either TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com and click the prominent link that says “Enter the Conference.” Watch the Conference live by clicking a video link that will be on the Conference page that matches the type of player installed on your computer (ie. Windows Media Player or RealPlayer) and the speed of the connection that you have.

Here’s an agenda for today’s Conference; note that times are Pacific/West coast. Panels will be archived several hours after they are shown live.

John White’s Speech, Etc.

I did some real-time blogging during yesterday’s “2nd Annual Proxy Disclosure” Conference, noting this speech by Corp Fin Director John White (fyi, here is the Cleary Gottlieb memo on performance targets mentioned during a few panels). The archived panels from that Conference are being uploaded soon and will be accessible from a link at the top of the home pages of TheCorporateCounsel.net and CompensationStandards.com. Today’s NY Times ran this article on John’s speech and other remarks made at yesterday’s Conference.

Problems with our Online CLE Tracking Tool

If you have registered for video webcast attendance to any our three Conferences this week, please be aware that we are experiencing some difficulties with our new online tracking tool. Rest assured that you can still earn CLE credit if your state bar has accredited our program (most states have).

If you are experiencing problems, simply send us (1) the name(s) of any lawyers who watch the Conference, (2) list which Conferences were watched (and number of hours attended), (3) the state bars for which CLE is sought, and (4) the bar numbers for those states. You can send these to info@naspp.com. We will be sending out CLE certifications out in about a month or so. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sometimes I truly despise technology…
