SEC Announces 2019 Government-Business Forum to Be Held in Omaha

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it will host the 38th annual Government-Business Forum on August 14, 2019, in Omaha, Nebraska. The Forum provides a platform to highlight perceived impediments to capital formation, culminating in recommendations for government and private action to improve the environment for small businesses. The Forum will be hosted in partnership with the Heider College of Business at Creighton University. This is the first year that the newly established Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation (OASB) will coordinate the annual Forum. “We are looking forward to this important event where market participants provide invaluable feedback on ways to improve the small business capital formation landscape,” said SEC Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation Martha Legg Miller.
