The best and brightest speakers will share their knowledge and expertise in an event that will be held on November 12,^, 2013 in Campbell, California at Villa Ragusa. The event will include breakfast, lunch and a cocktail/networking reception. The all-day conference will bring together executives and stock plan staff from finance, HR, legal, and executive compensation for 11 educational sessions on topics ranging from  the basics of stock plan management to accounting standards and taxation to international issues.

The morning general session, The Long and Winding Road: When Your Exit is So Far Away…or Never will start the day off on the right foot with Pam Ellis from Solium, Alicia Perusse, and Fred Whittlesey of Compensation Venture Group, Inc.  This session discusses the challenges faced by today's private companies as these timelines stretch out and radical alternatives for compensation design that recognize the new marketplace and diverge from the traditional VC fast-exit, accounting-driven models of the past.
