Spring Shows: NEAFP, SIFMA AMA
As spring approaches (promise!), the first leg of the annual Treasury and cash conference season again draws near. Crane Data, money fund providers, and various segments of the cash marketplace are preparing for a number of conferences over the coming months. Below, we review a couple that we'll be speaking at, attending, and/or hosting. First up is our Bond Fund Symposium, which will be March 25-26 in Philadelphia. Our third annual BFS will again focus on ultra-short bond funds. (Feel free to drop by the Loews Philadelphia Hotel.) In April, Crane Data will be exhibiting (and Peter Crane will be speaking) at the New England AFP 2018 Annual Conference event, which is April 24-25 in Boston. The NEAFP agenda is packed with money market fund content, including speakers from Citizens, BNY Mellon, Fidelity and HSBC. Also, in May, we'll be speaking at the SIFMA AMA Roundtable. This event, which attracts around 100 brokerage sweep providers and professionals, will be May 5-7 in Boca Raton, Fla. Our Peter Crane will speak on "Cash and Money Market Sweep Trends" with Eric Lansky of StoneCastle Cash Management. Crane will also host a "Bank Deposit Program Roundtable," which will feature Eric Edstrom of Charles Schwab, Doug Pagliaro of UMB, and Kevin Bannerton of Total Bank Solutions. The SIFMA AMA Roundtable involves Brokerage product and sweep professionals and is run in conjunction with the SIFMA Ops Conference. (Contact Crane Data or SIFMA's Charles DeSimone to ask about attending or to see the agenda.) Finally, we'll also be attending the Funds Management Group Treasury & Capital Markets Conference in Nashville, May 20-21, the New York Cash Exchange in NYC, May 28-29, and of course our big Money Fund Symposium in Boston, June 24-26.
