Frequently Asked Questions

Join top practitioners at the "Proxy Disclosure Conferences" and the "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences" to get the latest practical tips about executive pay, governance and disclosure, over the course of a three-day virtual event. Below are some frequently asked questions:

  1. Can I attend the conferences even though I am not a member of TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com?

    2. Yes, anyone can attend the conferences! If you or your organization are a member of TheCorporateCounsel.net, CompensationStandards.com, DealLawyers.com or Section16.net, you can attend for a discounted rate.

  2. When will you know what days the conferences will be held and who will be speaking at the conferences?

    3. The conferences will be held on October 13, 14 and 15th by Live Video Webcast (and archived if you have a conflict on any of those dates).

  3. What are the differences between the "Proxy Disclosure Conference" on October 13th and 14th and the "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" that will be held on October 15th?

    4. The "Proxy Disclosure Conference" is a two-day conference that focuses on how to use the annual reporting season to not only accurately disclose your results and comply with all of the SEC disclosure requirements, but also communicate your ESG, human capital and executive compensation story. This event is a must for anyone involved with drafting or reviewing proxy disclosures.

    The "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" is an intensive one-day conference that focuses on how to put your best foot forward for say-on-pay and equity plans, and how to implement responsible executive compensation practices. The "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" will impart guidance on how to draft and review proxy compensation disclosures — but there also will be guidance provided on a wider variety of practices, such as what compensation committees should be doing now.

  4. Can I pay for just one of the conferences if I don't want to attend both?

    5. The "Proxy Disclosure/18th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences" are a three-day event — Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, October 13th, 14th and 15th — are bundled together for registration and pricing. We make the "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" available to anyone who registers for the "Proxy Disclosure Conference" because it is rare that those involved in proxy disclosure drafting and review would not also significantly benefit from the guidance about compensation committee governance and responsible pay practices that will be shared during the "18th Annual Executive Compensation Conference."

  5. What are the benefits of getting a firmwide license for the conferences?

    6. With the stakes so high now for those involved with drafting proxy disclosures and establishing pay practices, many companies and law firms are taking advantage of the firmwide license for the live video webcast. This allows all of your staff and outside directors to access the conferences from any location. Even if you've already purchased a single user or single location license, you can still upgrade to a firmwide license and receive a credit for any money you have already paid.

  6. If I plan to watch the webcast by video webcast, what type of equipment and connection will I need?

    7. Here's what you'll need to watch the video on your desktop or mobile device:

    A. You will need one of the following "players" to access the video webcast HTML5. Click here to check your system settings. The HTML5 player is supported by most web browsers.

    B. You need approximately 600k of continuous incoming bandwidth in order to view a panel through a 500k link. If that high level of bandwidth is not available for you, your player will either not open — or it will continuously buffer (i.e., freeze). If you experience this type of problem, it is highly recommended that you switch to a 300k link to watch the video. Test your internet speed here.

    C. If you are still unable to access the archive, contact your IT department.

  7. How do I access the video archives of the conferences?

    8. Members of TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com who register for the conferences will be able to access the conference archives until July 31, 2022 by using their existing login credentials. Or, if you've registered for the conferences but are not a member, we will send login information to access the conference footage on TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com.

  8. For how long will I have access to the video/audio archives of the conferences?

    9. If you register for the conferences, you will have access to the video/audio archives of the conferences until July 31, 2022.

  9. What if I can't watch the conferences because I am too busy that day?

    10. We will be archiving every single minute of the conferences, so you can go back and watch the conferences at any time until July 31, 2022.
