Registration Is Open for the Forum

It's time to set a new standard in equity compensation. Welcome to the right place with the right people: The National Equity Compensation Forum, September 14-16, 2011 at the Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Kierland Resort & Spa hosts NECF

Breaking with Convention

The Forum's theme "Breaking with Convention" is GEO's response to the demand of an unfilled niche. "After considerable feedback from our US-based chapter members, we decided to provide a place where experienced professionals can take a step back to reflect on their equity pay plans from a strategic perspective; where they can discuss topics surrounding the fast-paced and changing landscape of equity compensation among peers at their level," says Michael Bendorf, GEO's Executive Director. "We want them to walk away from the Forum with a better understanding of the role equity compensation plays in their organization's overall pay strategies and, more importantly, how it contributes to the overall success of the company."

Be First Among Peers

GEO itself is breaking with convention as it scores a number of "firsts" in our history as a leading worldwide resource for information on equity compensation. The Forum marks the first time GEO will hold an event of this size, targeted at high-level professionals within a single country. It is the first time the speaker selection team is comprised of senior professionals who will determine the content relevant to the Forum's audience, including issue-based plenary sessions and discussions with senior-level panels.

Also, strategic symposiums presented by WorldatWork and the National Center of Employee Ownership will examine the role of equity compensation within a total rewards perspective for public and private companies alike.

A Good Time to Network

The opportunity for attendees to meet peers of their caliber is one of the best-received features of our events. We also know it's too easy to gravitate toward the people we already know, so we've created the Forum schedule with an eye toward connecting people, including a quick session on how to effectively network.
