A candid look at what happens when the pressure builds

ON DEMAND – THURSDAY, APRIL 30th, 2026

A candid look at what happens when the pressure builds.

Earnings calls may sound carefully orchestrated, but the defining leadership moments usually happen in conversations you never see.

Join us for a virtual event with experienced IR leaders ready to talk about the tough quarters and the uncomfortable board conversations.

Confessions of an IRO pulls back the polished corporate veneer to reveal the raw, high-stakes reality of financial leadership, featuring a panel of seasoned experts sharing the “scar tissue” lessons you won’t find in a blog or on LinkedIn.

Dive into what actually happens when expectations are too high and visibility is limited. You’ll hear how credibility is managed in real-time and what changes afterward.

What you will gain:

You’ll walk away with insight you can apply to your next reporting cycle, especially if you are preparing for heightened scrutiny or activist pressure

Questions that will be answered:
How do IROs manage activist pressure?
What should Investor Relations do during a crisis?
How can IR teams prepare for board scrutiny?

Everyone who attends will receive the Crisis to Credibility Playbook, a practical resource built from the lessons shared during the session.

We recognize the live timing may be challenging for some. Please register to receive the on-demand recording.
