NIRI Capital Area – Access, Alignment, and Activism: The Future of Shareholder Engagement

Proxy season may only come once a year, but the forces shaping it are in motion year-round. This session will unpack the latest trends in investor activism, evolving proxy voting behaviors, and the growing movement toward direct shareholder access to board members. Experts in corporate access, proxy advisory, proxy solicitation, and shareholder engagement will share insights on what’s driving investor expectations, how boards are adapting, and where governance practices are headed next.   We’ll also explore what effective off-season engagement really looks like — from building trust and alignment with long-term holders to addressing potential areas of vulnerability before they escalate. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen governance readiness, deepen shareholder relationships, and approach proxy season as a strategic opportunity rather than a compliance exercise.

    There will be plenty of delicious appetizers served. Parking details will be provided.

    We hope to see you there!
