About the forum

The Corporate Transaction Forum is a joint event hosted by IR Magazine and Corporate Secretary which exists to bring together corporate development officers, investor relations heads and corporate secretaries to learn about the latest developments in M&A and share best practice on how to increase shareholder value through investment strategy. The current environment has created favorable conditions for some companies to grow (or survive) through corporate M&A activities, and has left other companies more open to the threat of activism.

AN INTERACTIVE, VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

Due to current restrictions, the event will take place as a virtual experience using our bespoke, cutting-edge technology.

Our virtual event platform closely replicates attending in-person by facilitating interaction with speakers, one-to-one networking with fellow IR and governance professionals, and group roundtable discussions. Going virtual helps you connect with a wider network from the comfort of your desk.

NIRI IRC® CREDENTIAL

Holders of the NIRI IRC® credential can earn up to 4 professional development units (PDUs) per day. IRC-credentialed speakers may also earn PDUs. More information is available at www.niri.org/certification.

Topics and Themes

The Corporate Transaction Forum will look into key stages of the deal process from identification of targets, valuation & due diligence through to integration and explore how CorpDev, Governance and IR can work together to drive shareholder value through corporate transactions.

In a series of panel discussions, interviews, presentations and roundtable discussions we will cover the following topics:

An overview of the M&A outlook
How Corporate Development, Investor Relations and Governance can better work together in corporate transactions
Identifying emerging threats and opportunities and the challenges of due diligence
Communicating the deal and building consensus with your shareholder base
Managing a changing shareholder base at the time of a deal
How to navigate the proxy process
Delivering on value after the deal has been completed

Speakers and thought leaders

We will hear from senior stakeholders from Corporate Development, Legal and Finance to share their perspectives and experiences about how to build consensus with shareholders for a successful deal or how to protect shareholders from an activist campaign.
