Over the past few months, the impact of external political and economic developments on our markets has been significant. The volatility impacts different companies in different ways but what is clear is that every company is impacted in some way. In times like these a clear focus on controllable factors and responding quickly to external developments and demands becomes even more important. Experience is also helpful, and in this regard, it is important to network and engage with your peers at DIRF whilst keeping up to date on key market issues. Do make the most of the membership and all it features.
Creating value
It is also worth mentioning the annual conference, DIRFdagen, which is taking place again at the Scandic Spectrum on Tuesday 30 September. We already have a great range of topics and speakers under the headline title ‘Creating Value’. A very apt title, not just for the conference, but also for our profession. This will be a great event and a brilliant way to keep your finger on the pulse, whilst also catching up with other IROs and service providers – so save the date NOW and stay put for more information.
Two network meetings in the weeks to come
- AI for IR – breakfast session with Modular Finance on 16 June
- How to use LinkedIn as a corporate and personal branding platform – afternoon session on 25 June at Get Visual
New assistant
Finally, we have an organisational update as Lilla Szöcz has joined DIRF as our new assistant in the secretariat. Many of you know Lilla already from her extensive career as corporate access and we look forward to catching up with many of you soon at one of our events. As ever do let us know if there is anything else you want us to focus on as a Society.
Also, a big thank you to all of you who support our activities and volunteer your time to ensure we keep delivering in accordance with your professional development. Input and engagement from our members is what makes DIRF a strong forum for IR specialists.
We look forward to seeing you at our events and at the annual conference if not before.
