2009 Commercial Paper Executive Summit
We've never heard of this event or company before, but we're heard this new conference mentioned by a couple of commercial paper dealers and issuers (so we wanted to mention). iiBIG LLC's 2009 Commercial Paper Executive Summit will be held September 16-17 in New York at the Westin Times Square. (Alas, Crane Data won't be able to make it due to our participation in the Schwab IMPACT conference in San Diego.) Like with our recent Crane's Money Fund Symposium in Providence, their timing is excellent. Topics on the agenda include: State of the Commercial Paper Industry - What does the Future Hold? with Randy Harrison from Citigroup Global Markets and Frank Sansone from Dexia; "New Considerations Affecting the Investor Demand for CP," with Alison Emmerich from Dreyfus; "Straight-A Funding, LLC;" and a "Trader's Panel Discussion" with Christopher Conetta of Barclays Capital. The pricing for the day-and-a-half event is $1,895 with discounts available for investors. Note that members of the Commercial Paper Issuer's Working Group (www.cpiwg.org) will also be holding its semiannual meeting in New York on September 24 at the offices of JPMorgan.
