March 20, 2024 12:00 PM ET

Join us on March 20th to learn about ways to expand and augment your investor targeting efforts as an IRO, with tips and methods on how to take your investment story to a broader audience. The discussion will be focused on providing unique insights and information on how to best reach long-only, high quality investors. If you are working with or without the sell-side as a key factor to your Investor targeting, this discussion will focus on how to be thoughtful and effective when targeting investors.

We have assembled a great group of panelists from AllianceBernstein, ICR, and the New York Stock Exchange to round out the discussion. Our panelists will be sharing their knowledge and experiences from the buy-side, sell-side, advisory and listings.

Learning Objectives:  After participating in this program, attendees will be able to:

  • Find additional (and effective) ways for your company to reach investors
  • Maximize the efforts of the corporate access teams at buy and sell side firms
  • Leverage other relationships and service providers to augment targeting efforts
