2025 State of the Union in Equity Compensation

Presented by: Takis Makridis David Outlaw

10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

In this popular annual webcast, we share our outlook for the upcoming year, talking through regulatory changes, macroeconomic factors, trends in company strategy, and the shareholder landscape. Whatever your focus—executive compensation, corporate accounting, or global equity—you’ll get a helicopter view of the issues shaping executive and equity compensation in 2025.

This year’s highlights include:

  • What to expect from a new presidential administration (and new SEC leadership)
  • The state of play in recent SEC rule-making and comment letters
  • FASB guidance on income statement disaggregation and the links to compensation
  • Tailwinds behind broader equity ownership through ESPP and tax strategies
  • Court action related to compensation decision-making and disclosure
  • Evolving investor sentiment toward equity compensation expense and dilution

…and much more!

Join Takis Makridis and David Outlaw for this cross-functional preview of the year ahead.
