Why Exhibit at CIRI’s 2018 Annual Conference? CIRI’s 2018 Annual Conference is the premier annual event for 200+ investor relations professionals to gather for education, knowledge sharing with peers, networking and learning about new products and services.
This is your opportunity to meet new contacts, nurture relationships and get closer to closing that deal. No other event in Canada brings together the top players in the IR profession, helping you achieve your business development goals.
Smaller Teams, More Outsourcing
Based on CIRI’s 2014 Investor Relations Compensation and Responsibilities Survey, there has been a significant increase in outsourcing across a number of services as IROs try to deliver their IR programs with fewer internal resources.
Ü More IROs (85%) engaged outside service providers, up 39% from 2012.

Optimize Your Exhibiting Experience
Encourage prospective attendees to make one-on-one appointments with you, so that you can ensure you get the face time you need.
The key to success at any trade show is pre-promoting your company’s participation. How else will your clients and prospects know where to find you? Pre-promoting is easy because we provide the registration list free of charge – available to CIRI Annual Conference sponsors and exhibitors only. In the weeks leading up to the Conference, promote your involvement in the gamification through the Conference app.
Inform CIRI about any prizes that you will be raffling and we’ll list your company and prize info on our website for free! Booth draws take place during the Tuesday morning break in the exhibit hall. In the weeks leading up to the Conference, announcements of exhibitor’s prizes will be fed through CIRI’s marketing efforts.
