Last week, Dave dedicated a few blogs to addressing how our upcoming 2026 Proxy Disclosure and Executive Compensation Conferences will cover the rapidly unfolding SEC regulatory agenda that we expect will be playing out in real time as we assemble in Orlando on October 12th & 13th. With our early bird rate expiring this Friday (!!!), I wanted to highlight a few other panels that will help you understand how that evolving regulatory agenda might impact your 2027 proxy season, so you can see the value that you can get out of attending our conferences before that early bird rate expires.

– In “Trends in Tokenization & Blockchain,” our speakers, DLA Piper’s Era Anagnosti, Nasdaq’s Eun Ah Choi, Cooley’s Reid Hooper and Fenwick’s Ryan Mitteness, will bring us up to speed so we’ll all be able to speak confidently about the tokenization of securities and why it matters to public companies. Tokenization is quickly moving from concept to reality, and, as Liz said, it’s time to start paying attention.

– In “Shareholder Engagement & Proxy Voting: Turning Tides,” Davis Polk’s Ning Chiu, ExxonMobil’s David Kern, Jasper Street Partners’ Rob Main and Tumelo’s Edd Micklem will explore how stewardship, engagement and proxy analysis are changing and what the changes mean for companies as they engage with investors and prepare for proxy season. 

– In “Bodyguards & Private Jets: Perks on the Radar,” Compensia’s Mark Borges, Davis Polk’s Kyoko Takahashi Lin and Sidley’s Corey Perry will tackle the latest developments in perks disclosure and where any rule amendments might be headed.

– Finally, to conclude day two, we’ll get to hear from representatives of ISS and Glass Lewis, Kevan Marvasti and Hannah Fasbender in our always popular panel, “Navigating ISS & Glass Lewis,” moderated by Davis Polk’s Ning Chiu.

Go check out our full agenda and speaker bios because I don’t have room to highlight all our panels here. I’m also super excited about the topics and speakers for our panels “Fireside Chat with Top Activism Defense Lawyers,” “Scary Stories to Tell in the (Securities Law Conference Spot)light,” “Keeping Governance In Focus When the Future Is Hazy” and “The Top Compensation Consultants Speak.”

Our early bird rates include discounts on both in-person and virtual attendance, so register online at our conference page or contact us at info@CCRcorp.com or 1-800-737-1271 before it expires this Friday, July 24!
