Joint event: Trillion-Dollar Tug of War

We are delighted to invite you to join us at this topical breakfast event, kindly hosted by ICR, in conjunction with The Investor Relations Society.

ICR is a leading global strategic communications and advisory firm, helping industry leaders navigate the media, the markets and the complex business decisions that move the needle where and when it matters most.

The U.S. capital markets are living through a paradox. Google completed the largest follow-on equity offering in history at $84.75B, while SpaceX completed the largest IPO in history, with total proceeds of $85.7B. All of this unfolded against tariff wars, conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and a destabilizing geopolitical backdrop that tested investor nerve. Yet liquidity remains near historic highs.

So, what does H2 2026 look like? The midterm election compresses deal windows. Anthropic and OpenAI are heading for the most anticipated IPOs in years. The race for AI dominance and critical minerals is redrawing capital allocation globally. And every public company sits somewhere in that crossfire, potentially raising capital and trying to tell a clear story through the noise.

But does this hold true for companies of all shapes and sizes? What happens when volatility strikes? This session connects market signals to the communications decisions that define credibility. What narratives are actually building investor trust right now? When volatility breaks a message, how do the best IROs rebuild it? And in an H2 defined by competing headlines and a crowded deal pipeline, how do you make sure your company's story gets heard? ICR's CEO, Anton Nicholas, will be in London to discuss the “Trillion-Dollar Tug of War" and we are inviting IR Directors and Heads of IR to join us for what promises to be a deeply interesting conversation.

RSVP: Please RSVP to confirm your place via email to londonadmin@icrinc.com - places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Please note that this event is for IR Directors and Heads of IR only.
