What are Event Transcripts?
The Event Transcripts content set in AlphaSense is a curated collection of transcripts from key corporate and financial events.
Event transcripts are written versions of live events—providing a complete, text-based record of what was said. These typically include management commentary, prepared remarks, and analyst Q&A.
What do Event Transcripts Contain?
The Event Transcripts content set spans a wide range of corporate communications and market-moving events.

Why are Event Transcripts Beneficial?
Event transcripts are valuable because they provide a direct, text-based record of what company leaders communicate to investors and analysts. They save time by allowing you to scan or search for key details instead of listening to entire calls, while also ensuring accuracy by capturing the exact language used by executives. Transcripts make it easier to spot shifts in tone, guidance, or strategy across different events, and they allow you to compare commentary between companies or track changes from quarter to quarter. They also streamline preparation for earnings season, due diligence, and competitive benchmarking, while expanding accessibility by making critical insights available to anyone, even if they cannot attend or listen to the live event.
