Don't let Covid-19 stop your Annual General Meeting
The current Covid-19 crisis has meant many European countries are in lockdown causing thousands of public companies and organisations to re-think how they are going to hold their annual shareholder meeting.
With Convene eAGM, you can do so virtually – from the safety of your own home!
Convene eAGM is an all-in-one solution with proxy registeration beforehand, live webcasting, shareholder questions and weighted voting during and detailed reports and audit checks afterwards.
There is a large conference held annually. We are having a virtual conference instead but this comes with its own challenges. We are all based remotely, dialing in from home. Things are different at the moment, and we haven’t seen each other since February. All our committee meetings are online, our AGM is now online, so there are a lot of big changes.
