The 2009 Australasian Investor Relations Association (AIRA) course, “The Essentials of a Successful Investor Relations Programme” ran yesterday at the NZX Centre in Wellington.

NZX sponsored Listed Company representatives to attend the AIRA course this year to provide some very high quality training targeted for the New Zealand market. Over 40 professionals took the opportunity to attend the course which involved eight sessions on a range of Investor Relations topics, from developing an IR Annual Calendar to use of technology and social media to communicate with investors.

NZX and AIRA would like to thank all speakers and attendees for their participation at this event. NZX looks forward to working with AIRA on future events to advance the importance and standards of investor relations for NZX listed companies.

Ian Matheson, CEO of AIRA kicks off the day.

James Weir (Dominion Post), Mark Flesher (Infratil) and Guy Hallwright (Forsyth Barr) ran the Effective Communication with the Market panel discussion.

Barry Lindsay (First NZ Capital) ran a session on communicating with NZX Advisors.

Annabel Cotton (Merlin Consulting) briefed the audience on using a Media and Investor Relations Toolkit.

Bruce Russell (Wired Internet Group) presented Chris Roberts (NZ Oil and Gas), with the Best Investor Website Award for 2009.

Catherine Walker, Community Manager and “Twittress” at Xero, closed the day with a presentation on use of social media for communicating with stakeholders.
