Highlights 2024 The most important reporting industry events in Switzerland, Germany and Austria
We were very active this year and attended a whole host of events, trade fairs and conferences in the DACH region. We organized some formats, such as our demo day in cooperation with our strong partners. At other events, we provided speakers, presented best cases or took part as participants. “Combining the best” was the overarching motto across all events - we combined the best of all the exciting presentations, personal discussions and shared experiences.

The DIRK conference was at the top of our event agenda early on in the year. DIRK is the German Investor Relations Association and the largest European professional association for connecting companies and capital markets. As every year, this conference is one of the highlights of the investor relations community. On July 1 and 2, the time had come again. With over 500 participants, exciting panel discussions, case studies and workshops - all under the motto “Artificial intelligence - hype or game changer”. Olivier Neidhart and Daniel Schön from mms took away plenty of input and interesting discussions. They also gained the insight and confirmation that AI has become an integral part of reporting and digital process design.

cira
CIRA Vienna, Oktober 2024
Compared to the DIRK, the CIRA (Cercle Inverstor Relations Austria) in Vienna is known to be more personal and individual on a smaller scale. Many of the participants know each other and so the exchange is characterized by trust and openness. Our CIRA highlight: the joint appearance by Marco Reiter, Head of Investor Relations at STRABAG SE, and Daniel Schön from mms. Both spoke “on stage” about the challenges of the implementation phase, as well as the insights and advantages of the entire digitization process based on the much-praised Financial and ESG Report 2023 of STRABAG SE, which we set up via ns.wow.
partnertreffen
mms partner days Online, November 2024
As part of the mms partner meeting in November, which takes place virtually, the latest developments of the ns.publish and ns.wow platforms are presented by product management and we will look back together on an eventful and successful year using best practice cases as examples and provide an outlook for 2025.
We remain curious and look forward to good discussions, many exciting encounters and lots of new perspectives. The current topics - from CSRD to AI to XBRL - are our drivers for advancing digitalization in reporting and reporting on it.
With this in mind, we look forward to experiencing “Combining the best in Reporting” live in 2025 and bringing it to life.
