In-person, virtual or hybrid annual meeting solutions made easy

In-person shareholder meetings

Convene with your shareholders to share your company's story face-to-face

Virtual and hybrid shareholder meetings

Modern, intuitive experience for your shareholders. Robust, powerful control for you and your board. Easy -to-use for everyone.

In-person meetings offer the opportunity for shareholders to engage your board and other company leaders directly, which may help develop trust and better communication. Some investors may be more inclined to this format, while certain company or location considerations may make the in-person meeting preferable as well. The cost, detail and planning needed for an in-person meeting can also demonstrate a company’s commitment to investor relations. And while all meeting options offer opportunities for questions and comments, many shareholders consider the direct back and forth and Q&A segments more authentic when conducted in person.
