About the forum

The IR Magazine Forum – Europe is back on June 10, 2021, to give European IR professionals practical, take away ideas to implement into their IR program.

In 2020, attendees joined us virtually to take a refreshing look at running an IR program in the new normal. This year, you will hear the latest advice on targeting, including how to respond to the changing nature of the traditional sell-side, how to engage with retail and passive investors, and the future for roadshows.

As well as this, buy-side, sell side and issuing companies will share advice on post-pandemic strategies, creative best practice, ESG reporting, and the use of new technologies. Check out our star speakers from 2020 below!

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 professionals, and group roundtable discussions. Going virtual helps you connect with a wider network from the comfort of your desk.

Just some of our 2020 speakers
