WESTPORT, Conn., Aug. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In conjunction with its recently formed partnership, Rivel Research Group and Direct Access Partners announced today the firms will jointly sponsor a reception at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London on September 7, 2010. The event will follow Rivel's webinar presentation to the Investor Relations Society of the results from its latest research on how the US and European buy-sides currently make investment decisions.
The event serves to inform the UK investor relations community about the Rivel- Direct Access Partners partnership while offering attendees a forum to discuss key issues facing IR in today's market environment. Key representatives of Rivel will be on hand to field questions about the webinar presentation scheduled for earlier in the afternoon.
In addition to having an opportunity to ask questions, meet and mingle with all in attendance, event participants will have the unique opportunity to pick up complimentary copies of Rivel's most popular research studies such as Perspectives on the European Buy-Side, Perspectives on the U.S. Buy-Side and Social Media's Role in IR, among others.
The cocktail reception will commence at 6 p.m. at JW Marriott at Grosvenor House, 88 Park Lane, London (conveniently located near the Marble Arch and Bond Street stations). It is anticipated that the event will last until 9 p.m.
"This event is special in that it gives the UK investor relations community the opportunity to discuss current trends in US and European investor communications," said Rivel President Brian Rivel. "Meanwhile, our partnership with Direct Access Partners is one that offers public companies access to our research in a way that has not been available in the past." Rivel added, "We are also pleased that the Investor Relations Society will be part of this event."
Doug Nussman, Director, Global Corporate Access for Direct Access Partners, said, "We are pleased to offer our clients yet another high level of service we have become known for while simultaneously allowing corporate issuers reciprocal access to the insights, perceptions and needs of the institutional investor community provided by Rivel's research. Its independent and conflict-free approach is industry leading and the hallmark of Direct Access Partners' business as well."
