“I highly recommend this program to anyone working in IR or interacting with IR teams as it provides a comprehensive and practical view of Capital Markets dynamics impacting listed companies, how to set up IR capabilities, convey key messages externally, grow investor & analyst coverage, and stay up to date on IR and ESG increasing requirements. All speakers were seasoned IR, Industry or Euronext executives.”
