A road show-sometimes called a "dog and pony show"-is a compact series of investor presentations by the senior management of a company that is hoping to go public, acquire venture financing, or issue bonds or other securities. Road shows, which are typically concentrated in major financial centers around the country, allow issuers to meet with dozens of institutional investors over several days or weeks to present the company's financial outlook, product offerings and key managers. Generally, road shows are face-to-face meetings, but online and video presentations are becoming more common. 4, record 3, English, - road%20show
