Frequently Asked Questions

Join top practitioners at the 2024 Proxy Disclosure and 21st Annual Executive Compensation Conferences to get the latest practical tips about executive pay, governance and disclosure over the course of a two-day in-person and virtual event.

1. Can I attend the conferences even though I am not a member of TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com? 
• Yes, anyone can attend the conferences!
2. When and where will the conferences held? 
• The conferences will be held in person in San Francisco and virtually via live video webcast on October 14th and 15th.  
• All in-person sessions and programs are taking place in the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.  
• The sessions will be streamed live to our virtual audience via our conference platform.  Information on our conference platform will be available in the coming months. 
• All sessions will be archived and available to in-person or virtual attendees for one year after the conferences.
3. Who will be speaking at the conferences? 
• A list of conference speakers is available here.
4. What are the differences between the 2024 Proxy Disclosure Conference on October 14 and the 21st Annual Executive Compensation Conference on October 15? 
• The 2024 Proxy Disclosure Conference is a one-day conference that is timed and organized to help you prepare for the flurry of year-end and proxy season activity. This event is a must for anyone involved with drafting or reviewing proxy disclosures.
• The 21st Annual Executive Compensation Conference is an intensive one-day conference full of engaging sessions sharing essential and practical guidance, direct from the experts, on public company executive and director compensation issues, disclosure requirements and related legal developments.  
5. Can I pay for just one of the conferences if I don’t want to attend both? 
• The 2024 Proxy Disclosure and 21st Annual Executive Compensation Conferences are bundled together into a single two-day event for registration and pricing. Most attendees are interested in the topics covered on both days of the conferences. 
6. What are the benefits of getting a multi-attendee virtual license for the conferences? 
• We offer two multi-attendee virtual licensing options. One will allow an organization to register up to seven virtual attendees and one will permit registration of an unlimited number of virtual attendees from a single organization.   
• The multiple attendee licenses allow anyone in your organization to access the virtual conference sessions (via live video webcast or the archived content) from any location – at a significant discount to the virtual single-attendee price. Even if you’ve already purchased a single attendee virtual license, you can still upgrade to a firmwide license. 
7. If I plan to watch the conferences by video webcast, what type of equipment and connection will I need? 
• You need approximately 600k of continuous incoming bandwidth to view a panel through a 500k link. If that high level of bandwidth is not available for you, your player will either not open or will continuously buffer (i.e., freeze). If you experience this type of problem, it is highly recommended that you switch to a 300k link to watch the video. Test your internet speed here. 
• We recommend using an updated version of a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser to view the conference platform. 
• If you are still unable to access the event, contact your IT department. 
• Information on our virtual conference platform will be available soon.
8. What if I miss conference sessions? 
• We will archive all conference sessions, so you can go back and watch the conferences at any time until October 14, 2025.
9. How do I access the video archives of the conferences? 
• All in-person and virtual registrants will receive an email with instructions for accessing the conference archives. Be sure to retain this email! 
• If you registered for the conferences through NASPP, you would receive access to the archives from NASPP.
10. How long will I have access to the archives of the conferences? 
•  All in-person and virtual registrants will have access to the archives of the conferences until October 14, 2025.
11. Can I earn continuing education credit for attending the conference? 
• We will apply for CLE credit for the conferences. Most states allow credit for lawyers who attend in-person or via live video webcasts as they are airing. As we get closer, we will post a list of states for which the conferences are accredited. Should you have further questions about CLE credits, please contact our CLE provider, CEU Institute, at 800-556-3559.  
• Unfortunately, no CPE credits are available for attending the conferences.
12. Will written transcripts of the panels from the conferences be made available? 
• Yes. Transcripts will be available for conference attendees a few weeks after the conferences end and can be accessed via the archives.
13. Can I ask questions before, during or after the conferences? 
• Yes, our two “SEC All-Stars" panels will feature dedicated time for Q&A. For in-person attendees, microphones will be available for our audience members to use during those Q&A sessions.   
• For virtual attendees, a chat box will be available during all panels, but because of the fast-moving nature of this event, we can’t guarantee all questions will be answered or posed to the panelists.  
• Members of TheCorporateCounsel.net and CompensationStandards.com can post in our Q&A forums on those sites at any time and those posts can be anonymous. If you have questions in advance of the conferences that you’d like to see covered, please email them to john@thecorporatecounsel.net.
14. What is your cancellation policy? 
• All registrations are non-refundable.
15. If I am attending in person, where should I stay?  
• This year’s in-person conferences are being held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. We encourage in-person attendees to reserve a room at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square (click HERE to book your room) while availability lasts to maximize your experience.
