We have had a groundswell of interest in our “Hot Topics and Practical
Guidance Conference: The Corporate Counsel Speaks.” Below are some frequently
asked questions:
Can I receive the member discount on conference
rates if someone else at my company/firm is a member of
CompensationStandards.com or TheCorporateCounsel.net?
No. You can only receive the member discount if you
have your own single user membership or are at a company/firm that has
an Unlimited or Firmwide license that provides you with access to
CompensationStandards.com or TheCorporateCounsel.net.
For example, if you work in an office that is covered
by either an unlimited or firmwide license to CompensationStandards.com
– you are eligible for the member discount to attend live or by webcast.
However, if someone in your office has a single membership and you don’t
– you need to become a member yourself to receive the member discount.
If you are uncertain as to whether you are a member
of CompensationStandards.com or TheCorporateCounsel.net, send us an
email at info@thecorporatecounsel.net and we can let you know.

Will my NASPP ID and password work for this Conference?
Only if you paid to attend the Conference via video
webcast – member rates are available for NASPP members.
Note that if you paid to attend the NASPP Annual
Conference in San Francisco, you will be free to attend any – or all –
of the live panels from the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance
Conference: The Corporate Counsel Speaks” (but you will be unable to
access the video archive when you return to the office unless you pay
separately for the video webcast of the “Hot Topics and Practical
Guidance Conference: The Corporate Counsel Speaks”).
If I paid to attend the NASPP Annual Conference in San Francisco,
can I attend the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks”?
Yes, those that paid to attend the NASPP Annual
Conference in San Francisco will be free to attend any – or all – of the
live panels from the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks” (but you will be unable to access the video
archive when you return to the office unless you pay separately for the
video webcast of the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks”).
If I attend the “Hot Topics and Practical
Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks” in San Francisco, will I have access to the
video archives of the conference when I return to my office?
Yes, if you paid for the “Hot Topics and Practical
Guidance Conference: The Corporate Counsel Speaks” and attended live
in San Francisco or via webcast, you will have access to the video
archives – so you can go back and watch/listen to the conference at any
time until September 30, 2008 (unless you decide to renew your membership
to CompensationStandards.com for 2008; then, you would continue to have
access to the video archive).
However, those that paid to attend the NASPP Annual
Conference in San Francisco – even though they are free to attend any
of the live panels from the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference:
The Corporate Counsel Speaks” – will be unable to access the video archive
when they return to the office (unless they pay separately for the video
webcast of the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks”).
What if I can’t listen to the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance
Conference: The Corporate Counsel Speaks” because I am too busy that day?
We will be archiving every single minute of the
“Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The Corporate Counsel
Speaks” – so you can go back and watch/listen to the conference at any
time until September 30, 2008.
Can I pay for the “Hot Topics and Practical
Guidance Conference: The
Corporate Counsel Speaks” even though I am not a member of
CompensationStandards.com, TheCorporateCounsel.net or the NASPP?
Sure. But note that it costs less to pay for both the
conference and a membership than to pay the non-member conference rates.
We believe that nearly all members of CompensationStandards.com,
TheCorporateCounsel.net and the NASPP will decide to attend the conference
either in San Francisco or by video webcast.
You should note that this conference is priced so that
it’s cheaper than any other comparable conference rate we can find, because
we truly want responsible practices to be implemented as soon – and as
widely – as possible!
Can I earn continuing education credit for attending the conference?
Lawyers can earn CLE for most states if they attend live – and even earn credit in certain states if they attend by video webcast.
Here is a list of the states (Excel) in which this program is accredited.
Unfortunately, no CPE credits are available for attending
the “Hot Topics and Practical Guidance Conference: The Corporate Counsel
Speaks.”
If I already registered for the video webcast of the Conference and
now want to attend live in San Francisco, what do I need to do?
Just contact our Headquarters at 925.685.5111 or
info@thecorporatecounsel.net and our Staff will apply the money you
paid for a single license to the video webcast to the registration rate
applicable for San Francisco attendance. Even when you attend in San
Francisco, you still will have access to the archives of the video webcast
until September 30, 2008.
Note that if your company/firm paid for a firmwide
or unlimited license to the video webcast, you are unable to apply the
money paid for those licenses for attendance in San Francisco. Only
money paid for a single license in your name can be used to upgrade to
a San Francisco registration.
If my company/firm paid for a firmwide (or unlimited) license to
the video webcast, am I able to apply the money already paid for that
license so I can attend in San Francisco?
No. Only money paid for a single license in your
name can be used to upgrade to a San Francisco registration. The
rationale is that others in your company/firm will still benefit from
being able to attend via video webcast, which was priced at very
reasonable rates - so a new registration for attending in San Francisco
will need to be made in your name.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refunds are available if you notify us before
August 1st. A 50% refund is available if you notify us before
September 1st. After September 1st, there will be no refunds permitted.
