Call for Session Ideas

NIRI’s objective is to provide a balanced program that meets the needs and variety of interests and experience levels of conference attendees. Our core educational offerings are based on the Investor Relations Competency Framework and rooted in the IR Body of Knowledge, which describes the competencies and knowledge essential to performing the investor relations function.
 
This year, we are asking you: What would you like to learn at the 2024 NIRI Annual Conference?
 
We invite you to submit a session idea to be considered for the program. Your ideas will be anonymously reviewed by members of the 2024 Annual Conference Committee and used to inform and shape the development of innovative and timely conference sessions.

Anyone may submit a session idea, and submitters will have no obligation (or opportunity) to participate in the session’s development if it is used in the conference program. This is an open forum to crowdsource ideas from the community the conference serves. Sessions will be fully developed and overseen by NIRI’s member-based 2024 Annual Conference Committee.
