Rejoignez le GEO France Chapter à Paris pour une soirée d'échanges, de retours d'expérience et de networking consacrée à la préparation des contrôles fiscaux et sociaux portant sur les plans d'actionnariat salarié, ainsi qu'aux dernières tendances en matière de rémunération en actions. 

Face à des contrôles fiscaux et contrôles URSSAF de plus en plus fréquents et sophistiqués, nos experts partageront leurs expériences, les principales difficultés rencontrées et partagerons leurs recommandations pratiques pour mieux anticiper les demandes des administrations. 

Nous reviendrons également sur les principaux enseignements des conférences GEO 2026 d'Austin et de Londres et sur les tendances émergentes à l'international, ainsi que leurs implications pour les entreprises françaises. 

À l'issue des échanges, les discussions se poursuivront autour d'un cocktail offert par Baker McKenzie. 

AU PROGRAMME 

Êtes-vous prêts pour un contrôle fiscal ou URSSAF de vos plans d'actionnariat salarié ? 

À partir de retours d'expérience récents, notamment sur les propositions de redressement portant sur la contribution patronale au titre des salariés non-résidents, nos intervenants aborderont les principales questions soulevées lors des contrôles fiscaux et URSSAF, les difficultés rencontrées, les bonnes pratiques pour anticiper les demandes des administrations et préparer au mieux la documentation nécessaire. 

 Cette session sera l'occasion d'échanger sur les bonnes pratiques permettant d'aborder ces contrôles avec sérénité. 

 INTERVENANTS : Agnès Charpenet, Baker McKenzie; Colin Bernier, EY Société d'Avocats 

Retour sur les conférences GEO 2026 d'Austin et de Londres 

Quels ont été les sujets marquants de l'année en matière d'actionnariat salarié ? Quelles tendances émergent à l'international et quelles évolutions les entreprises françaises doivent-elles anticiper ? 

Nos intervenants reviendront sur les principaux enseignements de la conférence annuelle GEO à Austin et de l'événement régional paneuropéen (PERE) à Londres, en partageant les évolutions du marché, les tendances observées et leurs implications pour les entreprises françaises. 

INTERVENANTS : Agnès Charpenet, Baker McKenzie; Colin Bernier, EY Société d'Avocats; Mathieu Sabonnadière, Banque Transatlantique Belgique et coordinateur du GEO Belgium Chapter

Ready to put your teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills to the test?

Kick off your Pan European Regional Event experience with GEO for an evening of clues, competition, connection and giving back in the heart of London.

Starting at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery London, teams will head out into iconic Covent Garden for a fast-paced treasure hunt, tackling clues and challenges, earning points and competing for the top spot along the way.

It’s a chance to explore one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods while meeting and connecting with fellow GEO attendees before PERE gets underway.

Compete for a cause! There’s an even bigger goal behind the competition.

We’ve teamed up with ShareGift, who will generously make a donation of up to £5,000 to WaterAid, with the final donation linked to the collective performance of participating teams.

The better we do, the more we raise! Whether you’re coming to win, explore London or simply meet fellow members of the GEO community ahead of PERE, this promises to be a fun and energetic start to your event experience.

Team up. Explore. Compete. Make a difference.
