The first in a series of IR Breakfast events that will take place in 2013
Attended by UAE based Investor Relations Officers
Dubai, UAE, 31st January 2013: The Middle East Investor Relations Society (ME-IR Society) today hosted an Investor Relations (IR) networking breakfast. The event, which took place in Emirates Towers, Dubai, is the first of a series of IR Breakfasts hosted by ME-IR Society that will take place across the Middle East in 2013.
Representatives from SHUAA Capital, Emaar Properties, Dubai Islamic Bank, Arabtec and Taqa were among today's attendees.
The ME-IR Society Breakfast Series is a new initiative designed to bring together IR professionals from a myriad of sectors across the Middle East on a monthly basis. Each event will encourage discussion about the issues faced by IR professionals and to facilitate greater interconnectivity with an ultimate aim of improving best practice across the region. Each event will be hosted in collaboration with one of the Society's country chapters.
Oliver Schutzmann, Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications at SHUAA Capital, and co-host of the event, said:
"Investor Relations Officers often find it difficult to obtain independent, robust advice to enhance their respective Investor Relations programs. With the IRO Breakfast, the Middle East IR Society has created an invaluable networking platform where IROs can exchange viewpoints and knowledge."
The next IR Breakfast event is due to take place in Muscat, Oman during the end of February.
