This is my last blog post before our 2026 Proxy Disclosure Conference and the 23rd Annual Executive Compensation Conference will take place on October 12-13 in Orlando and via webcast, so I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to attend if you have not already signed up. We have assembled an outstanding group of speakers who will address the topics that you have on your mind over the course of our two-day agenda. There is a lot to cover this year at the conferences, given the SEC’s active regulatory agenda and changing dynamics in activism and shareholder engagement. Among the important topics that we will address over the course of these two days include:

– A radically changed shareholder engagement landscape in the wake of SEC guidance and regulatory efforts, technological change, structural changes at asset managers, evolving norms and practices for shareholder engagement, and continuing challenges for proxy advisory firms.

– A constantly evolving shareholder activism environment with ever-changing tactics and outcomes.

– Active SEC proposals to rescind Rule 14a-8, revisit the proxy solicitation process, implement optional semi-annual reporting, reform registered offerings, and revise the filer status categories, along with an expected proposal on revising executive compensation disclosure, lay the groundwork for a very different annual meeting and reporting landscape in coming years.

– The advancing developments in tokenization and blockchain that will impact public companies in the coming years.

– All of your usual favorite topics, including insights from the SEC All-Stars, perspectives on the proxy season, the latest on perks, the views of top compensation consultants and navigating the realm of proxy advisory firms.

I think that you will agree that this will be an epic two days of conferencing! I encourage you to register online or contact us at info@CCRcorp.com or 1-800-737-1271, and I look forward to seeing you at this year’s conferences.
