NEW YORK, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- MZ Consult NY ( www.mz-ir.com ), a
leading global investor relations and financial communications firm, announces
that, due to many requests, the registration period for the 11th annual
edition of the IR Global Rankings and Awards ('IRGR') has been extended until
November 28, 2008. Do not miss your chance to join!
This event, supported by KPMG, Arnold & Porter, The Bank of New York
Mellon, Corporate Asia Network, Bloomberg, NYSE Euronext, Demarest & Almeida
and Barbosa, Mussnich & Aragao is a unique external review of any company's
communication process with the capital markets.
Companies participating in the IR Global Rankings range from all sizes,
from Microsoft to small local banks. We also have clients that are not yet
publicly traded but are in the process of implementing IR initiatives.
Additionally, companies may keep their ranking scores private, if desired. Our
rankings are also classified by industry and region, which increases the
chances of companies ranking well.
Most importantly, regardless of size or location, companies benefit from
our feedback and best practice report, which helps them as they continue to
implement and improve their internal IR programs. This is proven by the
recurring participation of our clients year after year.
TO REGISTER, please visit the website www.irglobalrankings.com , or type
IRGR < GO > into your Bloomberg terminal.
