Theme 1

The changing capital markets

Global capital flows are shifting. Passive investing, private markets and growing competition for international capital are changing the landscape for Danish listed companies. Where is the money going, what does it take to attract investors today, and how can Danish companies remain competitive?

09:20 - 10:00

The future IR professional: What will it take to succeed?

The expectations of IR professionals are changing. Financial expertise, strategic thinking, communication skills and increasingly AI and data capabilities are all competing for attention. But which skills will really matter in the years ahead?

Coffee break

10:30 - 11:10

Creating stronger investor dialogue: Are we talking to the right investors?

More meetings don't necessarily mean better investor relations. With investor behaviour and ownership patterns changing, is it time to rethink traditional roadshows and investor targeting?

1. Shareholder insight in a complex world – how to stay connected with your investors

In today’s global markets, cross-border ownership structures often blur the picture of who actually holds your shares. This session dives into the real-world challenges for general meetings, investor relations, and governance - and highlights how companies can use smarter tools and data to ensure transparency, strengthen investor trust, and foster lasting engagement.

2. Alternative data for corporation: From Insight to Impact

As investors increasingly use alternative data to form real-time views on company performance, IR teams are under pressure to understand what the market sees. This session explores the growth of alternative data, how buy-side is using alternative data to invest, and best practices for IR teams to adapt to this growing trend.

Building trust in an AI world: What is IR still needed for?

AI is transforming how investors access, analyse and interpret company information. As technology takes on more of IR's traditional tasks, where does the real value of the IR professional lie?

IR as a strategic advisor: Are we as influential as we think?

12:10 - 12:50

IR professionals increasingly see themselves as strategic advisors to management and the board. But how much influence do they really have? New Danish research explores the gap between ambition and reality and raises some challenging questions about IR's role in corporate decision-making.
