International event marketing agency First Protocol has signed up as lead sponsor of the PEI (Private Equity International) Media Investor Relations & Communications Forum for the second year in a row. The event takes place in New York from 15-16 June 2011.

The agency says the sponsorship underlines First Protocol’s commitment to the private equity industry and is intended to position it as the market leader in investor communications.

First Protocol will be leading two interactive workshops during the two-day conference: 'Added Value Content for the Annual Meeting' and 'Measuring and Demonstrating Return on Investment', as well as hosting a roundtable meeting in London later in the year. Further information on the event can be found at www.peimedia.com/irny11

Earlier this year First Protocol announced it was expanding, adding a second US office in Los Angeles. It already has more than 60 staff in two offices in London and New York.
