Executive Compensation in Context is designed to provide the opportunity for attendees to expand their thinking on the interconnected challenges in governance, corporate social responsibility and executive compensation. 

This event brings together thought leaders and practitioners who will address the key issues and trends in executive compensation, C-suite and Board priorities, and evolving business and broader societal issues. We will explore the views of multiple constituencies and stakeholders for an energetic discussion of different viewpoints and exchange of creative ideas.   

Key takeaways include:

  • Developing executive compensation strategies that balance short-term and long-term needs across stakeholders
  • Navigating economic pressures and market volatility
  • Building frameworks that account for competition for talent
  • Exploring different approaches to plan designs that balance risk and reward
  • Reconciling executive compensation metrics with organizational commitments to ESG and related goals amid ESG backlash
  • Addressing Comp Committee and governance issues impacting executive pay

Those in attendance will play a role as active contributors to the discussion and are invited to proactively participate in structured networking opportunities, breakfast roundtable discussions, interactive conversations, and more. 

Who should attend: 

  • C-suite executives including Chief Human Resources Officers and Chief People Officers
  • Senior leaders and professionals in the fields of Total Rewards, Executive Compensation, Compensation and Benefits, Investor Relations, and Sustainability
  • Board Directors, especially members of compensation and human capital committees
  • Other executive compensation professionals
  • General Counsels and Legal professionals responsible for executive compensation
