For most IROs, crisis situations are their worst nightmare. The BATS story is particularly compelling given the high-profile nature of the ipo market, as well as the significant interest in trading market structure.

On March 23, BATS Global Markets canceled its IPO after a technical failure on BATS Exchange led to halting the stock. Within seconds, calls began pouring in from media, customers and investors with everyone wondering what was happening. In the ensuing days, the company implemented a crisis communications plan designed to save the company's reputation with key audiences. Two members of the BATS management team – CFO Brian Schell and IRO Randy Williams – will be in Seattle to discuss the company's reaction to the crisis, and the ongoing effort to preserve BATS' reputation.
