Join members of the GEO chapter leadership teams from Belgium, the Nordics, and the UK for a fast-paced and practical exploration of the most important developments shaping equity and share plans across Europe. Designed for global practitioners managing cross-border programs, this session moves beyond fundamentals to focus on what’s changing now — and what issuers need to be preparing for next.

From evolving tax frameworks and regulatory shifts to innovative plan structures and solutions for increasingly mobile and hybrid workforces, our panelists will share regional insights and real-world examples. Learn how companies are adapting to local capital gains considerations, redesigning plans to stay competitive in tight talent markets, and balancing compliance with participant experience across diverse jurisdictions.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

• Understand the latest regulatory, tax, and compliance trends across key European markets and how they influence plan design and administration.
• Identify innovative approaches European issuers are using to drive participation, retention, and cultural alignment.
• Navigate cross-border challenges including mobility, participant education, and operational complexity with greater confidence.
