Join Us at the Annual DIRK Conference in Frankfurt on 23 June 2025

Every year, the DIRK conference is THE meeting place for over 400 industry experts and decision-makers from the business and financial communications sector. Over two days, more than 30 events in German and English provide a platform for exchanging views on the latest trends and developments in investor relations (IR).

What is Being Discussed?

This year's conference will focus on the topic "Investor Relations in Times of Permavolatility". Geopolitical tensions, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, trade conflicts, climate change and the resulting transition to sustainable business models, cyber threats and macroeconomic uncertainties characterise the global economy. Whereas we used to bounce from crisis to crisis, it now seems that the major global shocks are having a simultaneous and lasting effect on us. This simultaneity of disruptive events has ushered in a new era that can be aptly described as permavolatility.

Who is Coming?

At the 28th DIRK conference at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt, over 400 financial experts will discuss how transparent and proactive communication can help to secure the trust of investors and other stakeholders even in times of permanent uncertainty.

Who is Speaking When and Where?

Together with OTC Markets we look forward to participate in the 28th DIRK Conference on 23 - 24 June 2025 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Frankfurt. Jointly with OTC Markets EVP Jason Paltrowitz, VP and Co-Head of EMEA Jonathan Dickinson, and VP EMEA Francis Land, Michael Carsted Rosenberg will present the opportunities for European issuers to have their shares cross-traded in the United States under the topic "List Local, Trade Global".
