NEW YORK, March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today The
Deal, a business unit of TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), announced
that its second annual Corporate Governance event will take place
on June 5th, 2017 in
New York City. This year's event
will focus on "Navigating New Challenges to Value Creation" and
will be hosted and moderated by Jim
Cramer of CNBC's "Mad Money with Jim
Cramer" and founder of TheStreet, Inc.
This full day conference will assemble influential board
members, C-suite corporate executives, institutional investors and
senior professional advisors to exchange insights and discuss
strategies to meet and master the latest challenges to managing
their companies to maximize shareholder value.
"Last year we broke new ground in helping CEOs, counsel and
bankers figure out the best ways to represent their shareholders
when activists seek to change direction or oust management. We will
go deeper this year and analyze the most pro-long-term shareholder
strategies with the principals who have the most experience, and
deepest understanding, of the process," said Jim Cramer, host and moderator of the event.
"This is the only conference truly devoted to developing a code of
conduct for corporate leadership when an insurgent calls."
This year's agenda will cover issues such as the do's and don'ts
of board structure, how best to integrate activist-designated
directors into the corporate governance and board process, and
practical steps to reduce and manage the threat of cybersecurity
attacks.
