We invite you to join us at this year's largest gathering of global equity compensation professionals, GEO’s 10th Anniversary Conference, on 10-12 June 2009. This year’s conference combines unique networking opportunities with peers and key decision makers and quality presentations and discussions on the hottest issues facing the world of global equity compensation.

We could think of no better place than Paris to celebrate GEO’s 10th Anniversary. With its diverse culture and history, a healthy and growing economy with a mix of old and new businesses, and a powerful workforce built on multinational talent, Paris provides a powerful backdrop and dramatic context to this year’s conference.

Do you design or support employee equity plans?
If so, you don’t want to miss our 10th Anniversary Conference, which will give you the opportunity to:

• Attend your choice of more than 45 informative sessions focused on current market trends
• Learn from a dynamic cast of expert speakers
• Refresh your perspective on global employee share plan design, administration and communication
• Celebrate excellence in global stock plans at the GEO Awards ceremony

GEO’s mission is to help our members stay abreast of global issues by providing an independent forum for open exchange. We invite you to join us in that mission in Paris on June 10-12th.

I look forward to seeing you in Paris.

Michael Bendorf
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
