Location: IIAR Webinar
Lead: Maria Forss – Director, Industry Analyst & Media Relations at Tieto, Finland

This is the first meeting of the new “IIAR – EMEA Service Providers AR Virtual Chapter”. With an objective to hold meetings once every two months and bring together AR professionals from Service Provider companies across Europe with a varied agenda. The agenda for this meeting focuses on – 

“AR’s role and finding a balance between outbound and inbound information sharing with analysts”

• How much content does AR have to know and be able to share with analysts and customers?
• What is a good balance between “facilitator/making the connections to the right people inside the company” and “being a company spokesperson”.
• What is a good balance between “briefing” (getting the messages out) and “listening” (getting analysts insights in/consulting with analysts etc)

Maria Forss (@MariaForrs) – Director of Industry Analyst & Media Relations at Tieto in Finland, has kindly accepted to lead this EMEA AR Virtual Chapter. These chapter meetings are intended to be informal, with time for discussion and questions.  For future meetings it would be good to gain input from the AR representatives of participating services companies on their interests for future topics.
