Understanding Valuation in an IR Context 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Raphael 2-3

Do you really know how your stock is valued? This workshop, taught by instructors who teach NIRI's highly rated finance seminar series, will help you appreciate the key drivers of value and see how excellent communications can help support your company's valuation. We cover commonly used discounted cash flow models as well as valuation using a range of multiples - all in a way that is easy to understand, even if you are not a finance specialist.

Taking real company examples, we will look at the mechanics of a valuation model. You will appreciate where the inputs come from and why analysts ask the questions they do. And we look at how changes to the key variables, including guidance, impact the outcome and how it all ties into the company story.

Finally, we will show you how to create a model that allows you to see assumptions built into the current stock value.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: • Appreciate the key valuation variables and their impact• Understand where analysts are coming from and be able to meet their needs• Be able to test the assumptions built into your stock's current valuation

Shareholder Activism Workshop: Hands-on Preparation for Real-Life Scenarios 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Da Vinci 2-4

Participants will take an active role in a simulated activist campaign that is based on an actual proxy contest, during a fight. Breaking the group into small teams, experienced practitioners will guide the groups through five distinct, but sequential phases, which will include the initial activist contact, investor relations reaction, CEO and Board engagement, public disclosure and proxy fight.

Presented with the facts of the business case, the teams will be challenged to build their own strategy. The workshop culminates in a debate over the likely outcome and alternative scenarios.

Participants will leave this highly interactive workshop with an ability to leverage internal and external experts for an activist campaign, understanding the best ways to protect management's credibility and corporate reputation, and the tools to build a preemptive, offensive activist strategy.

The five workshop scenarios will include the initial approach, IR engagement, management/board engagement, public disclosure, and a proxy fight.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Learn the fundamentals of addressing an activist at every stage in the game• Learn the do's and don'ts of activist shareholder engagement and proxy fights• Develop strategic communications plans• Learn who to hire and when in the process

Why Now? Shareholder activism is increasing, and new players are constantly emerging. Any company can be a target, and activist goals and tactics vary widely. Each situation requires specific analysis, and, in all cases, good performance is the first defense and good investor relations the second.

Make or Break Your Career with a Blowout Analyst Day! 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Bellagio 1,5

Although everyone knows an analyst/investor day is an excellent opportunity to showcase a company's strategy and management team, a lot of us, no matter how senior, secretly dread the preparation for an upcoming analyst/investor day - lots of work, late nights (and not the Vegas kind) - details, details, details! What if something goes wrong? What if instead of fearing failure, we feared success? What can you do to really impress your management team, add value and take your job to the next level? How can you impact delivery of the messages? Do you know how to prepare your management team to answer questions? Have you ever taught body language?

How you plan the event is an opportunity for you to showcase your capabilities, build stronger relationships and truly add value to the team. Come with your questions/stories, and you will leave the session excited to plan your next day and showcase YOUR abilities!


• To ensure IR practitioners understand how best to plan and execute aneffective and impactful analyst day/investor conference - within your budget

• How to add value in creating and delivering impactful presentations, includingQ&A

• To understand the non-verbal "body language" investors may be analyzing

Why Now? Whether you need a refresher on tactical skills or not, an IR professional should think of the analyst day as his or her chance to shine.

How Do You Benchmark Globally? Part I: Evaluating the Metrics 3:15 pm - 4:00 pm Bellagio 3,4,7

Does this sound familiar? You want to upgrade your IR program and learn from the best. But how do you find out who they are? And what do they do that makes them the best? How is that measured? And who is the judge? And if you find companies that you think qualify, how can you learn from them? What are the metrics that are important and would they work for your company, too? Are they the same globally? In Part I, we will start looking at these questions, and specifically address the issue of how to measure the success of an IR program and whether the same measurements can be applied globally. We will talk to you about what we found by looking at research and will have a lively discussion with IROs from different countries.


• Learn what metrics are important for measuring the success of an IR programand how they compare globally

Why Now? The best IROs are not just in the US or Europe anymore. They can be found all over the globe, in places such as Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Useful Tool or Smokescreen? 1:20 pm - 2:20 pm Raphael 2-3

Groupon, Twitter, Tesla, and others have recently been in the news regarding their use of non-GAAP financial metrics. In many industries, such as REITs, non-GAAP is the norm rather than the exception. Yet a substantial number of companies, sometimes even within the same industry or sub-sector, largely or exclusively report under GAAP. This session will explore when and why companies use non-GAAP measures as well as provide information when considering such metrics. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Learn why some companies report in non-GAAP while others do not and if itvaries by industry

• Learn what investors prefer and the SEC guidelines• Learn what the best practices are for your company or clients

Why Now? More companies than not report non-GAAP metrics. IROs should know all sides of the issue before opining on the topic with management considering adopting or abandoning non-GAAP.

Inside the Shark Tank: Understanding the Activist Agenda 1:20 pm - 2:20 pm Da Vinci 2-4

The threat of activist investors encircling your company can be intimidating -unless you understand how to engage, respond and communicate when they come calling. This unique panel brings together four prominent activist shareholders, including one unconventional investor who drives home his point by serenading his targets with song. This informative and lively panel will go in depth on the common issues that make a company ripe for activism, the triggers that typically spark a proxy fight, and ways to engage once an activist discovers your company. With companies of all market caps now facing pressure from dissident investors, the IRO's most important strategic role is arguably the ability to steer the C-suite around the potential pitfalls. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Evaluate your company from the activist's perspective• Prepare for the questions activists are most likely to ask your senior

management• Become an indispensable source of information about shareholder activism for

management and the board• Develop strategies for most effectively communicating with activists - and the

rest of your shareholder base - in the event your company becomes a target

Why Now? With activism activities increasing, IR needs to learn how to deal with them to achieve the best possible outcome for their companies.

Social Media: Monitoring the Chatter from an IR Perspective 1:20 pm - 2:20 pm Bellagio 1,5

What's being said about your company, stock and industry by key influencers using social media? Do you even know who they are? Join us for a session devoted to the cutting-edge area of social media -- monitoring the social media output of key influencers -- not only determining who they are for your company and industry, but also learning how to monitor and leverage their output to enhance your overall IR program. Don't be the last person to find out that Carl Icahn just tweeted about your company! LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Learn about the "other side of social media" --monitoring what is being saidabout your company, stock or industry by key influencers -- and why youshould monitor them

• Determine the key influencers• Learn ways to effectively monitor the key influencers' social

media output and how many people are following their output

Why Now? The use of social media is becoming more widespread. And while research shows that few within the investor community value social media output by public companies, many do monitor blogs, tweets and other forms of social media produced by key influencers.

C-Level IR - 'Going All In' 1:20 pm - 2:20 pm Bellagio 2

Everyone wants it - not everyone gets it. Is it a function of the IRO, the management team, or both? We are, of course, talking about having a strong voice at the table. We wear dual hats as IROs. While keeping the company's interests in clear sight, we support our management teams and simultaneously advocate for our investor constituents. This is easier 'said' than 'done.' How can you leverage your knowledge and skills to become one of the most influential members of your company's management team and establish yourself as the go-to resource for executives and the Board on investor relations matters? Our panel, which includes an IRO, Board member, and CFO, will discuss effective and respectful ways to gain greater recognition and more abundant resources to execute your role effectively in the face of increasing complexity. Hear knowledgeable perspectives and a lively interactive discussion on how you can add measurable value to your company, management, and board as well as optimize your ability to make impact.

Why Now? The value an IRO can provide to an organization can greatly improve corporate reputation and street perception as well as individual career satisfaction and advancement. Facing resistance in this area is a common theme and hearing perspectives across constituents can help frame effective solutions to enhance IR's impact.

Guidance - Does it Still Matter? 2:55 pm - 3:55 pm Raphael 2-3

Transparency in financial reporting is of paramount importance, but it hasn't necessarily translated into the guidance practices of U.S. public companies. Recently, U.S. public companies have increasingly discontinued or substantially pared back their quarterly and annual earnings guidance practices. While some companies have moved away from the quarterly guidance to annual guidance, others have completely discontinued the practice. Among those firms offering guidance, there has been a shift toward general guidelines rather than specific targets. Nonetheless, nearly half of U.S. public companies still provide some form of guidance. As IROs attempt to satisfy the insatiable appetite of investors for more forward-looking information, guidance is likely high on the collective agenda of every IRO, senior management team, and the Board. We'll help IROs understand the changes in earnings guidance practices, anticipated market reaction to these changes, and current best practices in communicating earnings guidance. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Gain insights into the changing trends in public company earnings guidancepractices, including how they vary by company size, industry, depth, andbreadth

• Understand how the market is likely to react to changes in guidance practicesin terms of both stock price and trading volume.

• Learn how IROs have worked with senior management to set their currentguidance practices and communicate them to Wall Street

Why Now? Guidance is always a timeless AND timely topic for IROs. By understanding the practices of your peers and current trading trends, IROs will be in a better position to advise the management on the firm's guidance policies MODERATOR: Debbie Hancock, Vice President, Investor Relations, Hasbro, Inc.

IR Strategic Plan - Are You Doing Everything Wrong? 2:55 pm - 3:55 pm Bellagio 2

The starting point for an effective investor relations program goes well beyond investor outreach. It begins with a well thought out strategic plan that takes into account the organization's resources (financial, management time, etc.) as well as the goals and objectives that the IR program is trying to achieve (improving your shareholder base, increasing sell-side coverage, developing key messages, providing shareholder feedback to senior management and competitive intelligence to your business unit leaders, etc.) So, whether you're new to IR and looking to learn about the key elements of an IR strategic plan, or you're a seasoned pro looking to hear different perspectives on IR strategic planning, this session is for you. And as inertia can be hard to change, we're going to question the conventional wisdom of how we run our IR programs in the hope of obtaining new perspectives that we can use to improve our IR programs. This session will walk through some of the major buckets of an investor relations strategic plan and panelists will provide a "point/counterpoint" in debate form on why they believe that some tactics are better than others in achieving their annual investor relations goals and objectives.

Resources to execute an IR program vary greatly based upon firm size, so the panel features IROs across market cap sizes, industries as well as differing career backgrounds.


• Learn how to develop an annual IR strategic plan that maximizes corporateresources and creates value beyond improving your shareholder base

• Learn about differing perspectives on how your IRO colleagues approachmultiple facets of their roles including target marketing, quiet periods, earningsguidance, how best to work with the sell-side in order to achieve their goals,etc.

• Learn how to monitor and report on the performance of your plan and adjusttactics when needed

Why Now? While investor relations is a critical activity for every public company, more than ever, today's IRO needs to present a clear and compelling case to senior management in order to obtain necessary corporate resources (senior management time, funding, etc.) so as to execute an effective investor relations program that will play a critical role in enhancing their firm's valuation.

Prestigious college lineage, you say? Fortune 500 experience in your career "war chest"? Multiple degrees you've attained? So what!

Lack of Ownership: Talent needs to stop pointing the finger to their bosses, the corporate culture in which they work, politics, or any other similar factors as the reason for their lack of success and unhappiness with their careers. Most professionals believe that their careers will take care of themselves or, worse yet, someone else will figure it out for them.

Introspection and Self-Analysis: Professionals should invest in examining themselves and who they see when they look in the mirror--they need to contemplate broader considerations than just the obvious factors to which they can easily point their fingers. Ultimately the answer to career success lies in applying critical thinking skills about oneself as it relates to what they haven't done to advance their careers and how they haven't developed themselves.

Ipreo: Straight From the Buy Side: Investors Speak on the Mechanics of Their Process 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Da Vinci 2-4

There's lots of research and discussion out there about buy-side investment criteria. But what do they have to say about it? A panel of buy-side analysts will share their methods and preferences regarding the mechanics - and logistics - of their decision process, where they go for information, what methods they use to connect with company management, and how IR can best facilitate this process. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Investment decision making process at the buy side • Interaction between various constituencies on the buy side • Buy side's interaction with sell-side - corporate access, research, execution • The buy sides expectations of investor relations and senior management


Why Now? Communicating with the buy side and fostering relationships with current shareholders and potential shareholders continues to be a critical aspect of an IRO's strategic and tactical responsibilities. This session looks to inform the IROs in attendance - through first-hand Q&A with the buy side - on how they can adapt their approach to best fit the way the internal investment decision making process works. MODERATOR: J.T. Farley, Managing Director, Investor Relations & Corporate Communications, ITG

Marketwired: 360 Degrees of Social Media for Today's IRO 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Bellagio 1,5

Opportunities abound for companies with a strong digital presence and robust social media program, and today's IRO needs to think outside the traditional 'IR box' when it comes to shareholder relations and investor engagement. Identifying and managing crises, tapping into investor sentiment, and fostering real-time communication help today's IROs lead the pack. This interactive panel features some of today's foremost experts in social IR who will discuss the state of investor communications, the social-savvy enterprise, and why Wall Street is paying attention to the social IRO. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Discover how Wall Street is using social media, and why companies with active social media personalities and programs are carving a niche of their own

• Learn to leverage digital technology and incorporate social media into your communications strategy to better engage your shareholders and attract investors

• Understand why it's important to operationalize social communications throughout the organization, why champions of social infrastructure are positioned for optimal performance

• Realize that you can lead a social-savvy IR team and still keep your company compliant


Why Now? Social media usage and engagement are not widespread practices in investor relations circles. Concerns about regulatory compliance and the disclosure of material news make adopting social media and using its channels as primary communication tools something to be thoughtfully considered. But social media increasingly presents opportunities to directly access and build relationships with shareholders, media and influencers who are active on Twitter, Facebook and blogs. For those IROs who are social-media savvy, there can be a direct connection between their engagement, enhanced shareholder relations and an improved bottom line.

Washington • Where activism will be heading in 2014 and 2015 in M&A

Doubling Down on the Competition for Capital: Going Global with your Investor Relations Program 3:05 pm - 4:05 pm Da Vinci 2-4

While global issues such as corporate governance, social and financial activism, and M&A are common place, the investment landscape from the U.S. to Europe to Asia is markedly different. A fruitful global IR program is no longer just a priority for multi-billion dollar consumer brands. Instead, thanks to increased technology and a broader set of resources, a productive global IR program can be established across a variety of industries and budgets Recent research by FTI Consulting conducted with global institutional investors identified some interesting trends that include increasing amount of funds seeking investment targets outside of their region; brokers becoming too conflicted to give impartial advice; and the geographic consistency of the core pillars driving investment decisions.

In an increasingly competitive and global market, delivering the right messages and leveraging the right channels, beyond an international roadshow, is an essential to establishing your global IR program. Furthermore, understanding the differences, and similarities across various markets while implementing a program that is centered on value-driven messaging, strategic engagement and preparedness will be the key to maximizing the ROI of your program.


• Understanding the dynamics of the global investment landscape• Utilizing investor relations and shareholder engagement research to maximize

the ROI of your efforts and global program• How to build a global IR program on any budget

Why Now? For companies looking to raise their profile and globalize their investor relations program, understanding the nuances and trends that define the different investment centers is imperative along with optimizing your management's time and budget.

Around the World in 60 Minutes: NDR Tips and Tricks from the Pros 3:05 pm - 4:05 pm Bellagio 1,5

Taking your message on the road has been an effective way to meet and educate new and existing shareholders for as long as the IR function has existed. The current reality of budget and time constraints paired with the global nature of equity markets has changed the nature of the NDRs and how it needs to occur. IROs want to know how to make their company's time and money matter. This session will explore the risks and opportunities of going on the road, whether, when and how to involve a sell-side corporate access team, an IR firm, or going solo; the cities and regions providing the most opportunity; targeting tips from the pros, streamlined logistics, marketing tools and messaging, as well as NDR measurement techniques. For those wondering about non-U.S. locations, a meaningful portion of this session will be devoted to the locations, investor "care-abouts," and targeting tips for Europe and Asia.


• Learn the big money centers in the US, Europe, and Asia and how to determinewhere, when, and who to visit

• Gain tips on logistics and planning• Learn which corporate access teams, IR firms, cities, and investors you should

consider based on your company profile and goals• Learn how to tailor your message with the appropriate metrics to investors and

The Nuts and Bolts of Success with European Shareholders 4:10 pm - 5:10 pm Raphael 2-3

When looking at European investors, we generally find a stable, long-term oriented shareholder base; all attributes that resonate well with IR professionals. Since the European crisis, these investors have become more interested in investing outside of Europe. Is there anything specific you can do to tailor your investment story towards European investors? How often do you typically need to see them before they invest? And is it enough to go to London and Edinburgh or are there other big pockets of money that are worth visiting? This session will give updates on the current investment appetite in Europe and provide practical tips on where to go and how a company should evaluate whether to include Europe in their IR outreach. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Learn how to evaluate whether targeting European shareholders is right for yourcompany

• Learn about the money centers in Europe and the profile of companies theseinvestors are interested in

Why Now? European investors have become more interested in investing outside of Europe. However, US stocks have seen a rally last year and forecasts for this year are lower. Has that diminished their interest in US companies? Should US companies still target this market? Are Europeans interested in other markets, such as emerging markets?

Bina Thompson, Vice President, Investor Relations, Colgate-Palmolive Company

Targeting to Find the Incremental Buyer 4:10 pm - 5:10 pm Da Vinci 2-4

Effective investor targeting is critical to being successful in investor relations, yet with all the resources available, it has become more difficult. The typical buy-side analyst covers more than 100 companies and has their own screening tools and target lists, resulting in their openness to unsolicited inquiries fairly low. So how do you reach the right audience to optimize your shareholder base? Listen to our panel of experts to learn what works best in investor targeting, and what doesn't.


• Create an effective investor target list• Learn effective tactics in targeting new and/or underweight investors• Learn ways to best utilize the sell-side in investor targeting• Learn how to target on a low budget

IROs will pitch their favorite products and services, face down tough questions from a jury of three IROs as sharks or judges. Listen to their pitches and vote for the best!

Crisis Preparedness: Your Crisis Plan is on the Shelf, but Now What? 10:45 am - 12:45 pm Da Vinci 2-4

Public companies must be prepared to deal with crisis events of all kinds, and in today's fast-moving media landscape, an effective communications strategy out of the gate is imperative to success. Every crisis is unique, but guidelines for communications stay constant. The workshop will begin with a panel discussion on best practices in crisis management leveraging IROs' experience. Following the panel, participants will be broken up into small teams to address crisis scenarios for a fictitious company: 1) unexpected death of CEO without a succession plan in place; 2) regulatory investigation and 3) facility disaster.

This workshop-based session will put IRO's on the spot to make critical decisions on how to handle various crises. As each scenario evolves, participants will be served an outline of facts and posed questions they must address. How to respond to the crisis? When to respond? Through what vehicles -- press release or statement? Should the company hold a conference call? What constituencies are key? What are the next steps?


• To provide IR practitioners with the fundamentals of how to deal with variouscrisis events

• To help IR practitioners pressure test their own instincts and crisis plans on theshelf -- are they able to quickly make the necessary decisions?

• To arm IR practitioners with the ammunition needed to ensure that both they --and their management teams -- are prepared to deal with crisis events of allkinds

Why Now? IROs can be instrumental in protecting their company during unforeseen events. In crises, critical decisions must be made -- and quickly.

Gramercy Park Hotel Gramercy Park Hotel Two Lexington Avenue New York, NY 10010 Phone: 212 201 2169 Fax: 212 201 2170 E-mail: [email protected] URL: www.gramercyparkhotel.comBooth(s): 530 This landmark hotel, located in the heart of New York City, has been home to creative minds and distinguished guests for nearly a century. The hotel is a modern take on the traditional grand hotel, with its custom-designed, handcrafted furnishings and rotating collection of 20th century artwork. The Gramercy Park Hotel received its 21st century facelift from Oscar-nominated director and artist Julian Schnabel with a distinct Renaissance-revival concept. He was inspired by vivid colors and artistry of this era, clearly shown in the bold palette chosen for the walls, curtains, upholstery and carpets. Gramercy Park Hotel is not familiar luxury; it is a five-star challenge to the status quo. It creates a one-of-a-kind experience that offers a bright vibrant counterpoint to the pleasant sameness of so much of what passes as luxury today. Gramercy Park Hotel challenges the way we think about what a truly wonderful luxury hotel can be. Our guests are Individualists, with a desire to stand out from the crowd. They think for themselves as distinctly different and imaginative. They are cultural creative, the creative business-man or business woman, the influential young couple, the fashionable older couple, the new family, the chic European couple and the new power person. That means turning left when others are turning right. It means discovering what’s next instead of relying on what’s familiar. It means taking a risk for a more interesting reward. For us as hosts, it means coloring outside of the lines – offering a decidedly different experience. Gramercy Park Hotel is different by design. It is soulful. It is spirited. It is a hotel created in a different style for a different type of guest. It is by individuals, for individuals. It is fearless and it is always unexpected. Walk into the Gramercy Park Hotel and you will discover at once that it simply feels special. Color pops around you. Sumptuous fabrics, rich textures, bold and inviting furniture signal that you’ve entered a very special club. Our Signature Fragrance, Cade 26, the art you can’t take your eyes off…they confirm it. This is not a sterile hotel life. This is a point of view hewn into the beams, layered onto walls and stitched into the fabric of the furniture you find yourself settling back into. You will find it again in one of our 185 thoughtfully appointed guestrooms and suites, through color, texture, art and, above all, space. Draw the plush curtains tight and lock out the world. Later, wander to Rose Bar or Jade Bar and thrust back into the world again. It’s a world that is alive and beating with all that is thrilling about New York.
