Delegates at this year's International Investor Relations Federation conference might detect a difference in tone from traditional gatherings. In previous years, there's been a nagging suggestion that the event's educative qualities play second fiddle to its role as a flesh-pressing, social occasion. Oh, some of the speakers are excellent and there's always an opportunity to swap IR know-how with new acquaintances but the focus is generally on the chance to have fun and network. Not any more.
