Three full-day events will be held in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong from Monday, June 24 to Friday, June 28, 2013.

The IR Wisdom Roadshow represents a unique opportunity for investor relations professionals in the region to benefit from an exclusive gathering of influential local, regional and international industry experts and peers.

"NIRI is dedicated to advancing the practice of investor relations and the professional competency and stature of IR practitioners around the world," said Jeffrey D. Morgan, President and CEO of NIRI. "Based on the overwhelmingly positive response of last year's events, we are delighted to return to China with Ipreo to share collective best practice knowledge directly related to the local Chinese marketplace along with the experience of the global investor relations community."

"Education – on the markets, on the investment community, on the vital function of IR in public companies, and the development of IR within the management team – is extremely important to the growth and development of investor relations," said Justin Reynolds, Managing Director of Asia-Pacific for Ipreo. "We are very pleased to be helping to drive that educational programming together with NIRI, by bringing practical content and expertise directly to the IR practitioners in China."
