Last fall, more than 150 attendees joined the Computershare’s Governance Services team for the annual Global Entity Management System (GEMS) Client Conferences in Tampa, Florida for our North America clients and in London, U.K. for our clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The 2016 conferences were attended by more than 150 global GEMS clients and prospects, including paralegals, corporate secretaries and compliance officers from some of the world’s largest companies.
This year’s conference theme focused on our GEMS key pillars: Global Compliance Management, Enterprise Management, Entity Structure Management and Subsidiary Governance Management.
Throughout the week, we conducted interactive sessions generating educational conversations between our clients and the Governance Services staff. These sessions highlighted how our clients' key business challenges can be addressed through the functionality of the GEMS pillars, including:
- Centralizing the administration of corporate data and documents to manage business transactions and filings.
- Automating corporate governance functions such as monitoring and certifying regulatory filings and entity incorporations.
- Integrating annual filings and registered agent services capabilities.
- Better connecting internal departments for improved collaboration on global compliance and corporate governance matters.
Our keynote speakers offered our clients different perspectives into the world of entity management. In London, Anthony Hilton, Finance Editor of the Evening Standard, spoke on Brexit and the ways to navigate those changes, while Kathy Combs, the former Chair and Interim President of SCSGP, spoke about her 25+ years of experience in the industry and the ways she was able to successfully navigate the corporate governance realm.
As always, it was great to see our clients and staff engage to share their learnings and insights on the GEMS platform with one another. Our clients (and staff!) are already looking forward to next year!
