Insight Forums, LLC today announced that it is providing a video stream of its Shareholder Communications Symposium to public company and fund firm executives who cannot attend in person. The event is being held October 6 and 7 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago, and streams of all sessions on both days are being made available. Registration for online participation for both days and access to session recordings after the event is just $175 and may be secured at http://www.insightforums.com/?sub=394.
The Shareholder Communications Symposium is an exclusive forum dedicated to helping governance, shareholder communications and investor relations professionals balance cost and service, and gain additional benefits in the form of environmental stewardship and improved brand equity. Sessions include coverage of such issues as Notice & Access, Summary Prospectus, Virtual Shareholder Meetings, Retail Proxy Voting, Social Media for Public Companies, Plain Language and Sustainability; for details, see either the event Web site at www.insightforums.com/scs2009.php or an interactive "Zmag" description at http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/0619a12d#/0619a12d/5. Symposium exhibits are co-located with those of the Document Strategy Forum.
"We know that schedules and travel budgets are tighter than ever, and streaming seemed the obvious and immediate answer," said Steve Weissman, Program Director and Senior Analyst at Insight Forums. "While it doesn't substitute for the in-person networking and collaboration the on-site attendees will enjoy, it does open the door to people who otherwise would miss it completely."

“Shareholder mailings are expensive to produce, often aren’t read, and create some 290 million tons of landfill waste per year,” said Symposium Director Steve Weissman. “Given the current state of the economy and the heightened state of environmental awareness, these realities are forcing issuers to take notice and take action, and the Symposium is designed to speed them on their way.”
Symposium participants will learn proven methods for determining whether, when, and how to reduce printing, and how to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of the remaining mailings. In addition, significant attention will be paid to techniques for improving investors’ online experience and overviews of beneficial technical advances.
To foster meaningful discussion and to facilitate deep-dives into specific issues, coverage at SCS09 will be focused on three core concerns: reducing costs, understanding regulations, and achieving sustainability. Illuminating the new landscape as it is emerging following numerous recent SEC initiatives, keynote speaker William Lutz, himself the former Deputy Director of the SEC's Office of Interactive Disclosure, will speak on "The Coming Revolution in Shareholder Communications."
