The IR Magazine Global Roadshow Report 2022 is our 13th annual research report into corporate roadshow activity. This is the third roadshow report to deal with the impact of Covid-19 and covers a period that has seen the gradual lifting of the travel restrictions imposed to combat the pandemic.
This report continues on from the past two years’ reports in looking at both in-person and virtual roadshows. As travel restrictions have lifted during the period covered by this report, in-person roadshow activity has gradually returned. As a result, this report has equal focus on virtual and in-person roadshow activity, covering frequency and duration, brokers used and cities visited. Comparison in these areas is made between current roadshow activity, pre-pandemic in-person activity and mid-pandemic virtual activity.
The report further covers the relative satisfaction IROs have with in-person and virtual roadshows, and we revisit questions posed to IROs throughout the Covid-19 pandemic about the permanence of change to roadshow activity and the future prominence of topic-related roadshows.
Findings in this report are taken from the latest round of IR Magazine’s Global IR Survey, carried out in Q3 2022. This report covers the year from Q3 2021 up to Q3 2022 and any references in this report are for this time period unless stated otherwise.
These report findings are based on responses from roadshow participants only, meaning data for both in-person and virtual roadshows includes only participants in that particular type of roadshow. Most of the findings in this report have been split by geographical region and company market capitalization. For the purposes of this study the key regions examined are North America, Europe and Asia, while the categories for market cap are defined as follows:
