NIRI NY’s third annual half-day event will feature IR leaders who have direct experience leading through a crisis. Our speakers will reflect on the lessons they learned and how their knowledge can help other IROs navigate through similar events. Rich in content and hands-on learning, the day opens with a case study in crisis management by the lead investor relations consultant for Transocean throughout the BP oil spill crisis and subsequent activist investor campaign by Icahn Associates. This will be followed by a panel of seasoned IROs, and end with an interactive workshop addressing tips for managing reputational risk in a volatile world. The day wraps up with a networking lunch, giving you the opportunity to discuss the program with peers and speakers.
