IIAR Webinar: Adventures in Analyst Relations

By on Friday 13th May 2016 in AR, Events, IIAR, IIAR Webinar 0
IIAR Webinar: Adventures in Analyst Relations 
Presented by Peggy O’Neill, Senior Director, Analyst Relations at Informatica Peggy O'Neill
When: 13th July 2016
Time: 08:30 PST/ 16:30 BST/ 17:30 CET
Like anything in life, the more you put in the more you get out.
Understanding where your organization is in terms of its Analyst Relations is important. In this webinar Peggy will guide us through how to establish where an AR program is and paint a picture of what is possible. It summarizes the benefits you receive as your company invests more in AR and becomes more mature about how it works with the analyst community.

Companies that do strategic AR understand how to get the most out of their analyst relationships. They are also confident and can articulate their vision and roadmap, and can plan their analyst interactions accordingly. But they’re not so confident that they think they can’t learn anything from analysts.

Please note that the webinar is for IIAR members only. IIAR members can register by clicking here

IIAR Christmas Party kicks of the festive season with a bang….

By on Friday 4th December 2015 in Events, IIAR, IIAR Networking Event 0

The Christmas season took off with a bang last night with the IIAR Christmas Party taken place in the heart of DIGITAL UK in the Shoreditch Hotel. Attending were around 100 people from the Analyst community including around 70 industry analysts and 30 AR Pros. The analyst community was represented by analysts from Gartner, Forrester, PAC, IDC, IHS, Constellation and many others.

The event was kindly sponsored by Dell. From their perspective, the evening provided a fantastic networking opportunity in a fun and festive setting. The impressive turnout and the wide variety of analysts and AR professionals in attendance, created the ideal environment to catch up with existing analyst connections as well as establish new relationships with the ever-growing EMEA analyst community. 2015 has certainly been a busy year for all and the IIAR Christmas drinks were a great way to celebrate the successes of the year as we look towards an exciting 2016.

The other highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Analyst Firm and Analyst of the year. See Analyst of the Year 2015

A massive thanks to Jaqui and Carol for helping organize the event

Wishing Everyone a Fantastic Christmas Holiday and a Prosperous New Year !!

New! US-based IIAR Networking Events in November and December

By on Thursday 6th November 2014 in Events, IIAR, IIAR AR café, IIAR Networking Event, IIAR US Chapter 0

Liberty SmallAnalyst Relations:  it can be rewarding, exhilarating, frustrating and – despite the fact that we’re often talking with analysts and spokespeople – it can be lonely, too.  Especially when you’re the only one at your company who does what you do . . . or even knows what you do!

As AR professionals, we are often a team of one, haven’t had much formal training, and are being asked to do more than ever before. It’s not easy.  But we’re not alone.  We are part of of a global community, one that is growing, evolving and learning to address new challenges every day.

For several years, IIAR members in the UK and Europe have taken advantage of IIAR Networking Cafe events to meet up, make new contacts, discuss common challenges and opportunities, mentor each other and strengthen the AR Community.

Now, we’re bringing the same opportunity to the the other side of the “pond”. Continue Reading →
