How IR teams' use of AI is evolving, from the AI & Technology Forum in London

IR Impact recently hosted its AI and Technology Forum in London, bringing together senior investor relations professionals, technology leaders and market experts to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping IR today and what lies ahead. The forum focused on the practical realities of AI adoption in IR, moving beyond hype to address how teams are already using technology to enhance disclosure, improve investor engagement and streamline workflows. Throughout the day, speakers shared real-world examples of where AI is delivering value, alongside candid discussions about its limitations, risks and governance implications. We caught up with several IROs and technology experts on the sidelines of the event to find out more about what they had learned, where they see AI taking the profession and why anyone should come to an IR Impact event near them.

Why do IR teams prefer London as a roadshow destination?

Where are companies travelling when they go on the road? Which brokers are putting on the best roadshows? Which members of the C-suite are putting in more time for these vital events and are they more likely to attend in-person or virtually? These are some of the questions answered in the Global Roadshow Report 2026, our annual deep-dive into how IR teams are thinking about their roadshow plans. Joining Laurie Havelock this episode is Garnet Roach, IR Impact's deputy editor, who tells us about the top findings from this reseach - including why London has emerged as a global favourite destination for IR teams.
