National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) Recaps Highlights of its 117th Investment Conference Held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) held its 117th Investment Conference on March 2-4, 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Themed the “Land of Opportunity Conference,” the successful event was hosted at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa on the beautiful Ft. Lauderdale beachfront.
On Wednesday morning March 2, 2011 Charles B. Pearlman, of Pearlman & Pearlman, LLC sponsored the NIBA golf outing at the Weston Hills Country Club in Weston, FL. Golfers met at 9:30am and enjoyed a terrific round of golf in the warm Florida sun while networking with NIBA Members and Associate Members.
The Conference played host to 150+ officials representing over 40 NIBA Member and Associate Member firms, and numerous Industry Guests, who gathered to exchange ideas and information, evaluate presentations made by featured companies seeking capital or exposure, collectively voice their positions on issues impacting the securities industry, and enhance their knowledge and expertise through ongoing education programs designed to enable them to remain competitive in today’s financial markets. Corporate presentations were given by senior executives from 19 public and private companies and organizations operating in a broad range of industry sectors over the two-day period.
During a seated luncheon on March 3, FINRA executive Joe Price, SVP of Corporate Financing/Advertising Regulation, served as keynote speaker and participated on a panel comprised of executives from NIBA Associate Member law firms to discuss prevailing rule and regulatory changes relating to small issuer offerings, as well as proposed rule changes that are expected to materially affect the investment banking industry. Videos of Joe Price’s speech and the informative panel discussion at NIBA 2011 Ft. Lauderdale have been added to our NIBA Blog page, and all five clips are also available on our NIBAVideo YouTube Channel.
“For nearly 30 years, it has been NIBA member firms to who most small- and micro-cap companies have turned to for financing and valuable counsel and direction. However, in all that time, our Membership has never been faced with so many complex regulatory changes and volatile market dynamics that appear to be culminating in the redefinition of the investment banking industry. Consequently, NIBA’s mission is now more relevant than ever and mandates that our Members and Associate Members work as a united force to ensure Wall Street reform and market trends and changes never compromise our ability to support the growth of promising young companies and the noble work of organizations that serve our local communities,” stated Jeffrey M. Johnson, NIBA Chairman.
In an effort to provide critical exposure and fund raising opportunities for local charitable organizations endorsed and supported by NIBA, Conference attendees also welcomed Loli Sangiovanni, Special Events & Volunteer Coordinator at Ronald McDonald House Charities® of South Florida, who shared information about the non-profit’s important mission. The Ronald McDonald House is a “home away from home” for families who must travel hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles, outside their own community to seek medical treatment for a child. Sangiovanni noted, “The Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida would like to thank NIBA for its generous support and contributions. Their donations and commitment to our organization will help us continue to provide services to 48 families on a daily basis and provide a refuge from the hospital – a special place providing warm, friendly and low cost housing alternatives to parents and siblings of seriously ill children.”
