On 14-16 April, 2010, GEO was pleased to host attendees at our 11th Annual International Conference in Chicago, America's famous 'Windy City.' Thank you to everyone who attended, as well as to our speakers and event sponsors for their support. Presentation materials are available here.

Our 2010 conference continued 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.
