Today the Canadian Investor Relations Institute (CIRI), Canada’s national association representing investor relations professionals, announced that it has partnered with London Stock Exchange Group’s investor relations platform, ELITE Connect, to deliver professional development via webcast making education available to investor relations professionals across Canada.

CIRI is committed to advancing the practice of investor relations, the professional competency of its members and the stature of the profession. By webcasting the professional development events on ELITE Connect’s platform, investor relations professionals are able to stay current on industry best practices and trends, regardless of their location, as well as use the platform to engage and manage relationships with institutional investors and brokers.

“We are delighted to be working with ELITE Connect. Not only will we be able to deliver professional development to investor relations professionals across Canada, something that is core to our mandate, we will provide event participants the opportunity to leverage the ELITE Connect platform to reach existing and prospective members,” said Yvette Lokker, President & CEO, Canadian Investor Relations Institute.

“To be chosen to support the world’s third largest society of investor relations professionals is testament to the strength of ELITE Connect to create new business opportunities and make investor relations more efficient, international and valuable for people across the globe,” said Luca Peyrano, Managing Director, ELITE Connect. “There is tremendous opportunity for a modern, digital approach to investor relations and we are excited to be working with CIRI to promote innovation and enhance opportunities for their entire membership.”
