Nimbus’ nimbus – a glimpse behind the scenes
24. January 2024A review of the 2023 AGM season
Fascinating facts & figures relating to the 2023 AGM season
Nimbus can look back on a successful General Meeting season in 2023. The service provider was able to carry out almost as many events as during the 2019 season. Moreover, the NIMBUS VotingSystem celebrated its 20th anniversary. In this brief review, read more on how Nimbus tackled its 2023 AGM season.
Nimbus is an expert in preparing and carrying out General Meetings. The company assists corporations, cooperatives or associations of all industries and sizes. More than 150 clients, including renowned SMI-listed companies, have entrusted the technology pioneer and service provider from the Glarnerland region with their AGM business.
In figures, a successful 2023 AGM means, for instance, 15,000 kilometers driven to the general meetings by car and the tireless commitment of 22 Nimbus employees. On 31 January 2023, the season’s start was given by the CKW Annual General Meeting. The first virtual AGM of a SIX Swiss Exchange listed company took place on 9 May 2023; and the highest-altitude General Meeting was conducted on Gornergrat at 3089 meters.

Work done between seasons
After the AGM season is right before the AGM season. Nimbus’ software development team makes use of the weeks between the AGM seasons to further develop NIMBUS AR, NIMBUS GV, and NIMBUS ShApp. Nimbus software engineers are on site – and thus very close to the customers’ world – during AGMs, where they can glean ideas on how to further optimize the systems. One of Nimbus’ strengths is clearly that it responds personally to customer wishes and can quickly implement suggestions thanks to its own development team in Ziegelbrücke.
The Nimbus service team can help you to prepare and carry out your Assembly – with competence, experience and commitment. Let’s talk about it!
