Managing Consensus in a World of AI
12:10 PM
Speaker: Darrell Heaps, CSO
Sponsored by Q4
Consensus estimate management is one of IR’s most technically demanding disciplines — and one with direct consequences for how the market values your company. Despite the stakes, the category has remained almost entirely unserved by purpose-built tooling, leaving IR teams to stitch together spreadsheets, broker portals, and ad hoc calls.
Drawing on decades of experience and primary research with senior IR practitioners, this session explores how AI and agentic workflows are finally changing what’s possible.
