Small Group Discussions at the NASPP Conference

Are you looking for something different out of your NASPP Conference experience this year? Consider attending one of the small group discussion sessions.  These highly interactive, audience-driven sessions allow attendees to share ideas, challenges and solutions. Small group discussion sessions at past NASPP Conferences have been rated highly; some attendees comment that they are the best part of the Conference.

What to Expect
These sessions will be completely different from the typical conference session: no speaker panel, no canned presentation, no PowerPoint. Instead, facilitators lead the audience in a lively discussion. Come with a list of questions you want to ask other attendees and be prepared to share your own experiences and tips. Attendance is limited to 45 to encourage a fully interactive and engaging discussion among attendees.

We are offering seven small group discussions:

Payroll & Tax Withholding: Facilitated by Gustavo Dalanhese of E*TRADE.

Tips & Tools for 1099 and Tax Triumph: Facilitated by Danielle Deja and Robert Robitaille of Fidelity Stock Plan Services.

Employee Education: Facilitated by Karen Larbalestrier of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Educating Employees: Facilitated by Michael Gallagher of Morgan Stanley.

Change Management for Equity Programs: Facilitated by Renee Trotta of Charles Schwab.

Regulatory & Tax: How Technology Can Help: Facilitated by Mike Pewton and Andrea Kagan of Solium.

Best Practices for Rule 10b5-1 Plans: Facilitated by Bill Radtke of UBS.

Update Workshop Selections
These sessions are an alternative to the standard panel-style sessions. Attendees that have already registered for the Conference who would like to change their workshop selections to one of these sessions can click here to do so.

Don’t wait—space in these sessions is limited and we expect them to be completely full.

The NASPP Conference will be held in San Diego, CA from October 27 to 30, 2015. I hope to see you there—register today.
