Community, learning, networking, and career-building take center stage June 6-8 in Chicago for the world’s largest gathering of IR professionals. BY AL RICKARD, CAE


IR PROFESSIONALS spend almost all their time serving and attending to a range of stakeholders—investors, analysts, management, activists, ESG reporting services, the SEC … and the list goes on. So at least once per year, they should take time to serve their one indispensable resource: themselves. Tat opportunity is now upon us at the 2023 NIRI Annual Confer-


ence, from Tuesday, June 6 through Tursday, June 8 in Chicago. Tis is the most important must-attend event of the year, and hundreds are already registered and looking forward to reconnecting with the tight-knit, supportive IR community that is essential for building and advancing careers. Te NIRI Annual Conference Committee has planned a robust


program filled with learning opportunities from thought leaders in every sector of the investor relations universe from capital markets to environmental, social and governance (ESG). Te detailed program and schedule is available at www.niri.org/conference. “We are thrilled with the caliber and diversity of speakers who will lead our learning programs at the conference,” says Committee Chair Hala Elsherbini, NIRI Fellow and Senior Director, Investor Relations at Tyler Technologies, Inc. “Everyone will benefit from the in-depth balanced perspectives that these experts will present.” Committee Vice Chair Patrick Davidson, NIRI Fellow and Senior


Vice President, Investor Relations at Oshkosh Corporation, adds, “Every IR professional I know can tell me a story about how personal peer- to-peer connections helped them immeasurably in their careers, and that’s exactly what the NIRI Annual Conference offers. Tis is the only place to experience this level of in-person interaction and engagement.” Mark Fasken, Committee Vice Chair and Chief Operating Officer


and Co-Founder at Irwin, says, “Remember the energy and excitement last year when the conference returned to an in-person event after the pandemic? Tat’s going to be there again this year. Te IR Showcase— where we all gather and learn about new products and services—will again offer plenty of focused learning opportunities and interactive discussions. So take advantage of those.”
