The ‘events’ function enables users to advertise events, identify lists of invitees, send invitations and manage responses. Additionally, hosts have the ability to control the level of privacy around the event, to load up presentations and to send reminders to all invitees. All events feature in the events diary which reduces the likelihood of clashes and congestion within the SRI calendar.
What is Events?

Who can access Events?
- Browsers: can view a list of events only
- Registered users can: View all events and register for events
- Subscribed members can also: host events, send invitations and load presentations
What is SRI-C's supply-demand matching system?
This is how it works
- Analysts from commission-paying buy-side firms indicate demand by signing up for the event
- When we reach six attendees, we'll go out to find supply from the sell-side
- Brokers that wish to host the event should contact Mike Tyrrell. (The right to host will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.)
- If >6 buy=side analysts sign up to attend and 1 broker signs up to host, the event will go ahead; If they don’t; it won’t. Simple!
