At least these presentations give shareholders a chance to have face to face conversations with management. Management like WPX and EPO never have these kind of meetings . In WPX's case they had 3 news releases in the last year and one was to announce they granted a total of 11,240,000 stock options .

All CEO's will face shareholders when they have great news to talk about. When they don't have great news to release their nowhere to be found.
