IR Magazine Think Tanks are complimentary, invitation-only events for a select group of senior-level IR professionals.

Format
Participant-driven and highly focused, our think tanks embrace an interactive format where you and your peers engage in heated debate over timely topics.
Between three and four industry leaders will introduce the topic before participants break out into small roundtable groups to discuss the issues. Each session concludes with a room-wide discussion.
Switching tables at the start of each session ensures maximum interaction and networking opportunities with all participants.
