Inspired by Liz’s “top 10” list of favorite Warren Buffett quotes, I figured I’d share my top 10 reasons to attend our October “Proxy Disclosure & 22nd Annual Executive Compensation Conferences” in person!

1. Expert Speakers. We’re bringing together an impressive and dynamic group of speakers. Their varied experience — including as SEC Staff, in-house counsel and in private practice — is invaluable. (Truly! Think of the total hourly rates!)

2. Practical Content. Big changes are afoot! With a new presidential administration doing an about-face on the regulatory agenda, you need to hear all the practical action items these leading experts will be sharing. Let them help you navigate change and issue spot — ultimately saving you time and money.

They’ll cover topics like “E&S: Balancing Risk & Reward in Today’s Environment,” “Delaware Hot Topics: Navigating Case Law & Statutory Developments,” “The Proxy Process: Shareholder Proposals & Director Nominations” and “The Year of the Clawback” — and whatever regulatory (and deregulatory) developments happen between now and October that you’ll inevitably need to understand and be called to advise on!

3. Timed to Help You. The Conferences are timed and 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 and 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.

4. Networking. Network face-to-face and foster meaningful connections with industry leaders, potential clients, collaborators and mentors. This year’s Conferences have even more opportunities to do so — including a special welcome event to celebrate our 50th Anniversary!

5. CLE Credit. 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.

6. On-demand Archives. 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 for 12 months. That means you can continue to refer back to the sessions as issues arise. Again, saving time and money.

7. Valuable Course Materials. In addition to live and on-demand access to these fast-paced sessions, Conference attendees get exclusive access to our Course Materials – which include unique and practical bullet points and examples from our experienced speakers on each topic we’ll be covering. Our speakers go the extra mile to provide usable takeaways. The Course Materials are an invaluable resource to refer back to as proxy season approaches.

8. Exhibitors. Interact with our sponsors and exhibitors and learn how these partners can help you. Our Conferences are also held in conjunction with the annual conference of the National Association of Stock Plan Professionals (NASPP) with “equity’s largest expo hall.”

9. Early Bird Rate. Register now to lock in our “early bird” deal for in-person registration!

10. Vegas, Baby, Vegas. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that Las Vegas (and the surrounding area) has more to offer than neon lights and gambling. In fact, there seems to be something for everyone — including foodies and outdoor enthusiasts!

The Conferences are happening October 21st & 22nd at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and virtually! (NOTE that the Conferences are Tuesday & Wednesday this year, not Monday & Tuesday!) Register online by credit card or by emailing info@ccrcorp.com or calling 1.800.737.1271.
