Managers can learn how to accelerate the momentum of their analyst relations programme at Lighthouse’s seminar on Building AR Momentum. Lighthouse’s second-level AR course runs in the second quarter of each year: in Munich in April, in Singapore in May and prior to the Forrester IT Forum in June (Thanks to Marius for the photo from Thursday’s class).
The seminar explains how AR professionals can accelerate their results by using IDEAL, the best practice methodology for analyst relations. This isn’t a introductory course, but one that aims to build the capacity if managers to answer the most challenging questions about the execution of AR strategies. To allow participants to attend both the Lighthouse session and Forrester AR Council, the class will run from 8 am to 1.15 pm, concluding with a lunch break.
