Talking with Investors: Best Practices for Using Social Media to Communicate Material Information

Panel discussion will be moderated by Barbara Doyle, Vice President, Investor Relations at Lawson Software, Inc. Panelists include Jonathan B. Abram, Partner, and Melissa Krasnow, Partner with Dorsey & Whitney LLP and Darrell Heaps, co-founder, President and Chief Executive of Q4 Web Systems.

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 – 12 noon to 1:00 pm CT

Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube and other new social media are transforming the way we communicate, network, search for employment and do practically everything else both on the job and off. But the social media revolution is also posing legal issues ranging from IP to HR to securities regulation and investor relations. In this second session of a two-part series, we explore how public companies should use social media to communicate with shareholders and financial markets while complying with SEC and exchange disclosure rules and following best-investor-relation practices.

The event was held at Dorsey & Whitney's offices:

50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1500
Minneapolis, MN 55402-1498
