Shareholder activism is an increasingly important issue as evidenced by the high profile Kraft Heinz shareholder sustainability motions earlier this year and many other similar motions.
Participants at the conference will share views and practices on the evolution and current state of shareholder activism in the US and abroad, with a focus on how engagements continue to shape efforts between directors, public company management and activist investors, all seeking positive outcomes.
Industry thought leaders will explore why and how ongoing shareholder engagement and activism play a vital role in affecting share value. The conference will also examine how activist investors cultivate relationships with companies to positively influence sustained value creation as well as the latest campaign practices of activists, how they unfold, their outcomes, and how boards and executives work constructively toward improved stock performance.
