Investor relations awards, best practice category – in partnership with Extel

The Middle East Investor Relations Conference is the largest Investor Relations event in the Middle East, gathering Investor Relations Officers and professionals from the entire region. In 2026, we are expecting more than 900 delegates to attend the event.

The Middle East Investor Relations Association’s 2025 IR Best Practice Awards scheme is conducted in partnership with Extel and based on the results of the Emerging EMEA Executive Team survey conducted by II Research. Every year, global buy- and sell-side professionals give their votes for the best IR programmes and professionals, including CEOs and CFOs, in the Middle East.

Corporate issuers can register or log in free of charge on the Extel platform to take part in the survey and update their corporate roster. Participation offers MEIRA members an opportunity to benchmark their IR practices, contribute to the regional dialogue and, upon completion of both the Corporate Insights Survey and Roster, gain access to top 3 and range results once they are released.
