We invite you to join us in Chicago, America's famous 'Windy City', for GEO's 11th Annual Conference on 14-16 April 2010. Our 2010 conference will continue to build on the success of recent conferences in Paris, San Francisco, London and New York City by providing unique networking opportunities with key decision makers and quality presentations and discussions on the hottest issues facing the world of global equity compensation.

With its dynamic, multi-faceted economic base and diversified culture and society, Chicago reflects one of GEO's fundamental values: building a culturally-inclusive community that promotes sharing and understanding across and beyond geographic borders and multiple industry groups.

Do you design or support employee equity plans?
If so, you don’t want to miss our 2010 Conference, which will give you the chance to:

• Attend your choice of more than 40 informative sessions focused on current market trends and future implications that will have a dramatic effect on your ability to succeed, both personally and professionally;
• 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 Chicago on 14-16 April.
