Program Content and Objectives:
The use of social networks and blogs continues to increase and adoption has surpassed 80% of the online population. Not surprisingly, most companies have adopted these tools to help generate awareness and connect with consumers.
Today, investors and analysts are also using these same channels to research companies, discover new investment opportunities and connect/collaborate with other investors. Recognizing this, leading public companies began to use these same tools to connect with/influence investors. The use of social media in IR has grown considerably since 2009 and now, based on recent research is reaching a tipping point in the market. Does your company know what best practices are emerging and what the leaders in your space are doing?
Join Darrell Heaps, CEO of Q4 Web Systems as he presents the latest research on the use of social media in investor relations. Based on the analysis of over 360 public companies and their use of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogs, YouTube and SlideShare, Darrell will illustrate how leading companies use these channels to increase awareness, attract new investors and build better relationships with their stakeholders.
