Evolving Your IR Program to Procure a Seat at the Table

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 | 2:40PM - 3:30PM | Room:  |   Concurrent Session

Getting your seat at the table as a trusted strategic advisor is exceptionally important as the IR profession evolves quicker than it ever has. We’ll look at progressive investor relations teams that have developed unique approaches to be seen as strategic partners within the business. We’ll also discuss how these practices can be adopted within your respective organizations. The key to a higher budget is data, insight and counsel to the C suite. This makes IR uniquely valuable and bolsters the notion that IROs deserve a seat at the table. Hear from smart IROs who have evolved their role to be more strategic in multiple areas of their jobs and become a source for executives and the Board on market and shareholder intelligence.  Areas we'll cover include:
  • Ensuring that IR is actively being sought for insight on capital markets,  
  • Partnering with sustainability leaders in operations to better integrate and communicate investor concerns on corporate environmental footprints, and
  • Effectively navigating changes stemming from the evolution of sell-side coverage and buy-side corporate access.

Learning Objectives:
  • Gain an understanding of how the best IROs have gotten their seat at the table
  • Get a handle on how best-in-class organizations have utilized the expertise of IR to strengthen their overall strategy and performance
