DIRK ESG-TAGUNG 2026 (German only)

Flemings Selection Hotel Frankfurt City, Eschenheimer Tor 2, 60318 Frankfurt a.M.

Alle Welt spricht von Nachhaltigkeit, doch hat der Begriff oftmals für jeden Einzelnen eine andere Bedeutung. Auch in der Kapitalmarktkommunikation steht „Nachhaltigkeit“ für viele Aspekte. Allein die drei Komponenten E, S und G stellen völlig unterschiedliche Bereiche mit jeweils eigenen Anforderungen dar.

Trotzdem, oder vielmehr gerade deshalb, ist das Thema für Investor Relations spannend und hochaktuell. Höchste Zeit also diese Aspekte in all ihren Facetten zu beleuchten.

Die 5. Ausgabe der DIRK ESG-Tagung findet am 11. März 2026 im Flemings Selection Hotel Frankfurt City in Frankfurt statt.

Das Programm wird im Laufe des Januars 2026 hier veröffentlicht.

IR club Mitglieder sind herzlich eingeladen an der Tagung teilzunehmen (EUR 295 zzgl. MwSt. pro Teilnehmer).

IR Impact Forum – AI & Technology Europe: "Lead the change: AI strategies for tomorrow’s IR"

Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, 8-14 Cooper’s Row, London, EC3N 2BQ

Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping how investor relations teams engage with investors, analyse market sentiment and generate insights. At the same time, many IR professionals are still exploring how AI tools can be applied effectively, responsibly and in line with regulatory and governance requirements.

The IR Impact Forum – AI & Technology Europe on Thursday, March 12, 2026, in London focuses on the practical use of AI and technology in investor relations. The forum is designed to equip participants with concrete knowledge and real-world examples from experienced investor relations professionals, buy-side experts and technology providers already applying AI in their IR activities.

The programme combines hands-on workshops, practical demonstrations and case-based discussions. Participants will gain structured guidance on how AI can be integrated into IR strategies to enhance analysis, communication and decision-making.

This event is aimed at IR professionals who want to remain competitive and prepare their IR function for future technological developments.

IR in Uncertain Times: Who to Lean On and What Data Matters Most

Webinar

 

 

Periods of market uncertainty place investor relations teams under increasing pressure to communicate clearly, anticipate investor concerns, and support internal decision-making with credible, timely data. At the same time, fund managers and buy-side analysts are navigating their own challenges — shifting capital allocation, evolving risk frameworks, and heightened scrutiny from stakeholders.

This panel brings together a Corporate Advisory perspective, a Head of Investor Relations, and a data provider to explore how IR functions can best position themselves in volatile markets. We will discuss:

  • Which stakeholders matter most in times of uncertainty
  • How investor expectations change
  • What data truly informs decision-making
  • How technology and partnerships can help IR teams stay proactive rather than reactive

Attendees will leave with practical insights into:

  • How to sharpen IR strategy
  • Prioritize the right data
  • Build trusted relationships when clarity matters most

Speakers

  • Lorna Davie, President, IR club Switzerland (Moderator)
  • Morgan BaccariFounder of S&P Global's Situational Analytics team, S&P Global Market Intelligence
  • Patrick Yau, Director of IR, Ceres Power
  • Caroline Learmonth, Partner, FGS Global
