Online General Meeting event gathered together over 120 participants

Pete Fowler, Managing Director from Lumi: 

“Hybrid meetings are growing in popularity and more organisations are adopting this method to communicate with their members. Those that held their AGM with remote attendees during 2020 found attendance, engagement and participation increased comparing to 2019.

Already today any shareholder can attend either in-person or virtually from anywhere in the world. This obviously saves usually many kind of resources like commuting time and usually also expenses, from the shareholders point of view. Virtual meetings will become the defacto choice for Issuers, with the option of adding on an in-room component.”

Esa Kankkunen, Sales and Relationship Manager from Euroclear Finland
