Bond Fund Symposium Reminder
Crane Data continues to make plans and take registrations for our third annual Bond Fund Symposium conference, which will be held March 25-26, 2019 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. Our second event last year in Los Angeles attracted 120 bond fund managers, marketers, fixed-income issuers, investors and service providers, and we expect our Philadelphia show to be even bigger. See our latest agenda here and details below. Our Bond Fund Symposium offers a concentrated and affordable educational experience, as well as an excellent and informal networking venue. Registration for Bond Fund Symposium is $750; exhibit space is $2,000 (includes 2 tickets); and sponsorship opportunities are $3K, $4K, $5K, and $6K. Our mission is to deliver the best possible conference content at a reasonable price to bond fund professionals and investors. Portfolio managers, analysts, investors, issuers, service providers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of bond funds and fixed-income investing will benefit from our comprehensive program. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Loews Philadelphia. We'd like to thank our sponsors -- Wells Fargo Securities, Dechert, Fitch Ratings, Fidelity Investments, Investortools, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Wells Fargo Asset Management, Invesco, S&P Global Ratings, Payden & Rygel, PIMCO, DTCC, INTL FCStone, and Goldman Sachs -- for their support (we're still accepting sponsors for our 2019 show). E-mail us for more details. Crane Data is also making preparations and still accepting registrations for our "basic training" Money Fund University. Our ninth annual MFU will be held at the The Stamford Marriott Hotel in Stamford, Conn., Jan. 17-18, 2019. Crane's Money Fund University is designed for those new to the money market fund industry or those in need of a concentrated refresher on the basics. The event also focuses on hot topics like money market regulations, money fund alternatives, offshore markets, and other recent industry trends. For those attending, please make hotel reservations soon; our discounted room rates expire December 21 or until our room block is filled. Also, mark your calendars for our "big show," Money Fund Symposium, which will be held June 24-26, 2019, at the Renaissance Boston in Boston, Mass. Watch for the preliminary agenda in coming days at www.moneyfundsymposium.com and let us know if you'd like more details on sponsoring this event. We have also set the dates and location for our next European Money Fund Symposium, which is scheduled for Sept. 23-24, 2019, in Dublin, Ireland. Watch for more details in early 2019.... We hope to see you at one of our events in 2019!
