SEC Announces 44th Annual Small Business Forum to Impact Capital-Raising Policy

The Securities and Exchange Commission will host the SEC’s 44th Annual Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation at SEC Headquarters in Washington, D.C. on April 10 from 1 – 4:30 p.m. ET. The forum brings together members of the public and private sectors to discuss and provide suggestions to improve policy affecting how entrepreneurs, small businesses, and smaller public companies raise capital from investors. “The annual Small Business Forum provides an important platform for identifying pressing issues affecting capital raising for small businesses in communities across the country,” said SEC Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda. “We encourage entrepreneurs, investors, and members of the public to join us for this important event.” The event will feature appearances by SEC Commissioners and discussions with thought leaders from across the small business ecosystem on capital raising by early- to late-stage private companies and smaller public companies.
