Overall, Consensus Point put together a very good, focused conference targeted to corporate PM practitioners.
I am always a little surprised by how concerned people are about insider trading and corporate PMs. People are often confused and intimidated by securities laws, but the main issue here is just that a market price disseminates information within the firm which increases the likelihood of an employee acting on that information in an open securities market. First, this is clearly not a problem with the internal market as such. Second, the potential of employees stealing and acting on information is mitigated by using non-market info aggregation mechanisms.
