About the Program: The IR challenge has changed. Trading, rather than investing, seems to dominate today, with shares in constant motion and many participants wanting to own nothing and risk nothing. What does this mean for the role of IROs, who traditionally have been measured by their effectiveness in messaging to support investment in their companies and capital formation? What happens to individual wealth and capital creation in markets that are highly synthetic and largely comprised of statistical arbitrage? Is it irrelevant — or is our profession hanging in the balance? Join us as we discuss how modern trading works, why it’s essential that we grasp it now, how we got here, and what we should do about it as IR professionals.

Location: Giovanni’s (The Water’s Edge), 2748 Post Road in Darien (just off Exit 9 on I-95) Phone: (203) 325-9979 Click here for Driving Directions.
