What a Roadshow Day Needs

A roadshow is a tight schedule of investor meetings, often six or more in a day, for an IPO, a follow-on offering, a debt deal or a non-deal roadshow. The meetings are fixed, the addresses change every hour, and a late arrival is noticed.

That is why roadshows are booked by the hour. The same car and chauffeur stay with the team from the hotel in the morning to the last meeting or the airport at night, with materials and luggage kept in the car and time between stops used to prepare.

By car, the Northeast leg of a roadshow is often as fast door to door as flying, with the team working the whole way and the same chauffeur driving them out in the evening, ready for the next day’s meetings. For flown legs, RideSoHo meets the flight at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark or Teterboro and goes straight to the first meeting.

Flight cancelled or delayed?

If the team’s flight is cancelled, a car can drive them on to Boston, Washington, DC or anywhere within a four to five hour radius, so the next day’s meetings stand. Call dispatch at (212) 875-5212, subject to availability.
