On September 7, 2026, the Moscow Exchange will hold an IR forum “IR Code: Stress Test” — a large-scale annual event for the professional IR community, dedicated to the strategic role of IR in modern business.
The event will be attended by representatives of regulators, top company executives, leading IR specialists, investors, as well as other market professionals. The forum will feature a speech by the director of the financial policy department of the Ministry of Finance of Russia Alexey Yakovlev, Deputy Director of the Corporate Relations Department of the Bank of Russia Sergey Moiseev, Chairman of the Management Board of the Moscow Exchange Viktor Zhidkov and representatives of the largest issuers of the Moscow Exchange.
As part of the forum, participants will discuss the specifics of integrating IR into the management system of a public company to ensure sustainability and strengthen the reputation of its business.
Natalya Loginova, Director of the Department for Issuer Relations at the Moscow Exchange:
“Today IR not only performs a communication function but is also an important part of the strategic and managerial agenda. Professional work with investors implies the ability to explain the logic of decisions, recognize challenges, and provide answers, including to difficult and uncomfortable questions. The true test of IR quality comes in situations requiring a balanced position and readiness to continue dialogue with investors under any circumstances. At the IR forum, we aim to create a space for communication, exchange of experience, and opinions. It is important to us that companies and top managers use open and substantive communication with the investor community, investors have the opportunity to make decisions with sufficient data, and express their opinions to issuers, thereby spinning a spiral of positive feedback for business. It is through such practices that a mature market is formed.”
In 2026, the Moscow Exchange IR forum will be held in person in Moscow for the second time. The event program and registration are available at website. Last year, the IR forum brought together over 350 representatives of the Russian economy and stock market.
At the end of the forum, there will be an awards ceremony for the winners of the Moscow Exchange IR Award “The Market Chooses”.
