Come Hobnob With Top SEC Staffers and Commissioners

Got the following email from a friend in the American Bar Association’s Section of Business Law about an important upcoming conference (I added a little):

The SEC has posted its on-line registration form to participate in the 27th Annual SEC Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation to be held this year on Thursday, November 20, 2008, at the SEC Headquarters, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. In past years the SEC Chairman has welcomed the participants, and speakers usually include top staffers who can provide useful insight into the SEC’s views on various topics. At times they will telegraph upcoming rulemakings and other actions.

If you are interested in attending the SEC Forum you must complete and submit the registration information below by November 17, 2008. You can register on-line at: https://tts.sec.gov/cgi-bin/registration-form .

The full agenda, including main topic of the program’s morning session, has not yet been announced but participants are asked to choose one from among the following afternoon breakout sessions (which appear to be concurrent):

* Private Placement and M&A Brokers
* Private Securities Offerings
* Smaller Publicly Traded Companies
* Tax

More information about the annual forum can be found on the SEC’s web page for the Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation at: http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/sbforum.shtml
