Executive compensation is under more pressure than ever. New tax rules, expanding disclosure requirements, shifting proxy advisor guidance, and rising investor scrutiny are changing how boards and senior leaders think about pay, performance, and talent strategy. 

This event brings together CEOs, board compensation committee chairs, CHROs, CFOs, Chief Legal Officers, and executive compensation leaders for a focused, practical look at what is changing and what to do about it. The conversations will center on designing pay programs that attract and retain top leadership, aligning incentives with long-term performance, reflecting organizational values, and standing up to regulatory and reputational expectations. 

Through candid peer exchange and expert insight, attendees will leave better equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of executive compensation and use it as a strategic tool for leadership, credibility, and growth.
