If you’re looking for reasons to join us in Las Vegas for our “2025 Proxy Disclosure & 22nd Annual Executive Compensation Conferences,” the SEC’s announcement of a roundtable where it appears every compensation-related disclosure requirement the Commission has adopted over the past 20 years is up for discussion just gave you a whole bunch of them! So, be sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday & Wednesday, October 21st & 22nd and register now to attend our PDEC conferences in person with the Early Bird price before it’s gone!

Here’s the full agenda and the list of our outstanding speakers. As usual, we’re bringing you two panels of former senior SEC staff members with decades of experience with the inner workings of the Commission — “The SEC All-Stars: Proxy Season Insights” panel on Tuesday & “The SEC All-Stars: Executive Pay Nuggets” panel on Wednesday.

Our speakers will also address 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.” We’ll also cover the regulatory (and deregulatory) developments happening between now and October that your clients will expect you to be up to speed on.

Aside from an airport layover or two, I’ve never visited Las Vegas. I’m not much of a gambler, and the only time I’ve been in a casino was when my wife and I were newlyweds. We were visiting family on the Jersey Shore for Thanksgiving, and took a field trip to Atlantic City, where my wife spent a few hours at the one-armed bandits and helped herself to a couple hundred bucks of the Taj Mahal’s money.

While I haven’t been to Vegas, I feel like I know the place, since I’ve seen Ocean’s 11 -13, The Godfather, Casino, Leaving Las Vegas, and – forgive me – Showgirls. I also went to a cocktail party at Frank Sinatra’s old house in Palm Springs a couple of years ago, which I think should count toward my Vegas card. Anyway, I’m looking forward to visiting to see if my perceptions of the city match its reality – and to see if my wife can pick up where she left off in Atlantic City 35 years ago. We all look forward to seeing you there!
