NYSE Connect, a private online community built exclusively for NYSE- and NYSE Amex-listed company executives, is being developed in conjunction with Passenger, a Los Angeles-based leader in creating and managing private online communities that drive user advocacy and insight. The first of its kind among exchanges, NYSE Connect provides NYSE- and NYSE Amex-listed company executives faster access to market information and economic reports via webcasts, surveys and blogs, while also enabling them to collaborate with peers by sharing ideas and best practices.
“In a collaborative marketplace, static information isn’t enough,” said Scott R. Cutler, EVP, and Head of Listings,
NYSE Connect will feature private webcasts and live chat sessions as well as online polls and surveys that enable NYSE-listed company executives to form collective views and opinion on industry best practices, current news and issues, in addition to engaging in dialogue with top analysts, the NYSE and peers.
“We are thrilled to serve the NYSE on this groundbreaking initiative to create a private online community,” said Steve Howe, Chief Executive Officer, Passenger. “NYSE Connect represents an exciting opportunity for Passenger and the NYSE to work together to foster innovation, connection and collaboration among NYSE listed companies.”
