The annual shareholders’ meetings at the general meeting are prominent events for every publicly owned company. Hundreds or often thousands of shareholders travel from all over the country to find out about current company development and to discuss it with the board. The media often also show a strong presence – this is one day on which everything must run smoothly.

Here too, the task is to present the company in the light of its professionalism and ability. Ultimately there is a lot at stake: the confidence of the shareholders, investors and multipliers, in good times and bad.

General meetings have very specific requirements, for example in terms of comprehensive security – both personal security and stable systems for voting and counting, as well as the guarantee that the sound is optimally understandable in every room of the event venue, even in the toilets. Another important challenge: reliable communication between the podium and the back office behind the stage – so every question can be answered precisely. This too is something we deal with professionally.

The speech of the board chairman is the centrepiece of every general meeting. This is where he gives an account of the past financial year and reveals prospects and strategies for the future, which must be convincing. This is essential. Here too, we are happy to provide support with an experienced ghostwriter. However, a convincing presentation also needs the best possible technical support in order to achieve the full effect: good lighting to draw attention to the speaker and produce an optimum appearance even on television screens, as well as strong visualisation of the speech.
Well-known DAX companies rely on the POOLgroup when it comes to effective technical support for this important event: Telekom, Post, Postbank, ThyssenKrupp, RWE, E.ON or MAN to name just a few. We have a longstanding co-operation with many – year on year. As the saying goes: never change a winning team. Let us convince you too – you will not regret it!
