filed inEvents
The zu crew spent the last two weeks on the road attending both the annual NIRI and CIRI conferences. It was a long haul but a productive and fun experience. The zu team has attended the annual CIRI Conference for the past six years while this year represented only our second presence at NIRI.
5 key takeaways from NIRI09
filed inEvents
The NIRI09 conference was a great opportunity for us to meet with the finest professionals in the IR industry. In reflection of the conference sessions and conversations I participated in at NIRI09, here are 5 key takeaways in the IR marketsphere I would like to share with you.
Sustainability reports should save trees
filed inInvestor Relations
By putting important documents on their website, rather than in envelopes, PotashCorp continues to set the standard for communications best practices.
XBRL for the IRO
filed inInvestor Relations
During the #NIRI09 Conference, I attended a panel discussion that focused on XBRL strategies and the changing role of IROs. The panel included XBRL experts Michael Becker and Mike Willis.
Good IR shackled by IT
filed inInvestor Relations
It’s sadly amusing how the largest companies, with the largest shareholder bases, often have the poorest Investor Relations websites. Now we love and appreciate IT experts (or whatever you call the information technology folks at your company), and zu has many of them keeping our own technology running up in Saskatoon. But when one thinks of the nimbleness an IRO must exhibit in dealing with issues, or in taking advantage of the rapidly improving means of displaying website content, is IT really the partner you should be required to work through?
