Improving Virtual Meetings

Wednesday, April 21st - 1:00-2:00pm EDT

On the eve of proxy season, this past year challenged the industry with an influx of demand for virtual shareholder meetings as the pandemic forced everyone away from traditional in-person meetings.  Happily, we managed to meet the challenge!  In doing so, we also learned where the weak points of the process resided, and have tried to make adjustments for the 2021 season.  How are we doing, and have we succeeded in implementing relative improvements?  Hear thoughts from our panel of experts firsthand: Katie Sevcik of EQ will moderate and chime in with fellow panelists Cathy Conlon of Broadridge, Sherry Moreland of Mediant, and Paul Conn of Computershare.  We would love your thoughts as well, so please join us for this timely discussion on April 21st between 1-2pm EDT.
