Scenes from the NASPP Conference
The 23rd Annual NASPP Conference is in full swing! For today’s blog entry, I have a few pics from the Gala Opening Reception on Tuesday.
The talk of the reception was the entertainment provided by Phat Strad. Direct from the Las Vegas strip, Phat Strad is America’s original female rock electric string quartet.
Has it really been 40 years? Yes it has; the first issue of The Corporate Counsel premiered in 1975. In celebration of its 40th anniversary, The Corporate Counsel sponsored the reception.
Aon Hewitt’s pig races are always a popular attraction at the NASPP Conference. Heidi Thomerson of Alaska Communications Systems demonstrates that cheering for your pig is a key strategy for winning.
Charles Schwab is giving away t-shirts, screen-printed while you wait in their booth. Wend Jennings of AppDynamics waits for her shirt.
The CEP Institute says “Don’t monkey around with equity compensation.” Win their raffle and you go home with a larger than life-sized stuffed monkey (you might have to buy it its own seat on the plane).
It’s not all fun and games. Jon Doyle of International Law Solutions discusses the complexities of global stock plans with a Conference attendee.
The opening reception also include a green screen photo opp, with props and your choice of backdrops. Jenn Namazi, Kathleen Cleary, Barbara Baksa, and Brian Stovall of the NASPP take a moment out of networking to pose for a fun photo.
