Regional Event Series

Global Equity Organization (GEO) Regional Event Series

Sponsorships are now available for GEO's upcoming Regional Event Seminars on changing market practices in global equity compensation. Recent changes in legislative, regulatory, and market practices have raised numerous questions on how stock options, employee equity plans, and other equity compensation vehicles will be delivered and operated in the coming years. GEO is pleased to announce Regional Event seminars that will provide information on employee stock plans that are competitive, legally compliant, and sufficiently flexible in the face of dramatic legal and regulatory changes.

Projected FY09 Regional Event Locations: (Tentative dates/locations)

      • Melbourne – February/March 2009
      • Sydney – February/March 2009
      • Spain – July/August 2009
      • London – November 2009

GEO is strongly targeting local attendees within these cities and expect approximately 50 to 75 local attendees in each location.  As a professional service or advisory organization firmly rooted in the global equity community, this is an ideal sponsorship opportunity.  Sponsors will be recognized on the GEO website in member announcements, in GEO’s marketing materials, as well as have their logo prominently displayed during these seminars.  This exclusive opportunity will raise your organization’s profile within the industry, reinforce relationships with your current clients, and develop new client relationships by participating in these unique networking events

Chapter Meetings

GEO Chapters have been created throughout the world to provide resources for local information and to give members the opportunity to network with local peers.  GEO works very closely with chapter coordinators to ensure successful programs.  For a unique sponsorship opportunity, consider hosting a local chapter meeting by providing meeting space and catering.

If you have questions regarding any GEO Chapter or would like to host the next meeting in your area, please feel free to visit the website chapter pages, contact your local chapter coordinator(s) or Pam Stetson at .
