On November 15, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) will host the "SEC Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation," an annual forum focused on the capital formation concerns of small business. This year's agenda will focus on the implementation of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), specifically equity-based crowdfunding regulation. The forum also will look at issues related to capital for small business that were not addressed by the JOBS Act.
Free to the public, the day-long forum will start at 9:00 a.m. ET with a morning panel discussion that will be webcast live on the SEC's website. A panel of experts will discuss the implementation of the JOBS Act and small business capital formation issues not addressed by the JOBS Act. During the afternoon breakout sessions, participants will have the opportunity to join a crowdfunding-focused breakout group via a teleconference intended to help formulate specific policy recommendations for the implementation of equity-based crowdfunding regulations. To participate in the teleconferences, either in person or by teleconference, individuals must register online by November 12.
