February 2024

To our NIRI Silicon Valley and NorCal Members:

I hope you and yours are off to a great start to 2024!

With the S&P 500 breaking 5,000, emerging IPO market optimism, and with the NIRI Annual Conference in San Francisco this June, we hope you are all as excited as we are for the year ahead!

Looking back on 2023, we sincerely appreciate your support and attendance of our in-person events at AMD and Intuit, numerous networking events, and IR-only dinner and we hope to add even more value back to the Bay Area IR community in 2024.

From an event perspective, we are thrilled to preview our 1H 2024 events calendar:

In February, through our partnership with NIRI SF, we welcome you to join Evaluating your IR Plan for 2024: Planning, Executing & Measuring Success (register).

In March, NIRI SV is excited to announce that Palo Alto Networks will be hosting Nasdaq’s CFO, Sarah Youngwood, and Nasdaq Chief Economist, Phil Mackintosh, for an afternoon discussion on the markets and IR/Finance career development (register). We will also host a Breakfast with NIRI CEO Matt Brusch! (register).

April will feature additional networking events and in May, back by popular demand, we will feature our second IR Practitioners Only dinner!

Last but not least, we look forward to seeing you all at the NIRI Annual Conference in downtown San Francisco in June! Several NIRI SF/SV board members are involved in curating and planning content for the annual conference and it’s shaping up to be an outstanding event. Don't forget to register before prices increase!

If you have any content recommendations, ideas to improve the value of your chapter membership, or if would like to get more involved with NIRI, please reach out! We value your input.
