Reflecting and Recalibrating: The State of Investor Relations in 2026

Investor relations is at an inflection point.

AI adoption has accelerated faster than anyone expected. In-person engagement is resurging after years of virtual-first interaction. And yet, many IR teams still struggle to clearly measure — and communicate — their impact to leadership.

In this 60-minute panel discussion, senior IR leaders from across sectors came together to unpack what’s actually changing in IR today, what’s staying the same, and where teams need to recalibrate heading into 2026. Anchored in findings from the 2026 State of IR research, this conversation goes beyond headlines to explore how IR teams are adapting in practice — across technology, targeting, engagement, and measurement.

This session is practical, candid, and designed for IR leaders navigating real constraints: lean teams, rising expectations, and increasing scrutiny.
