Crane Data is ramping up preparations for our ninth annual Bond Fund Symposium, which focuses on ultra-short bond funds and which will take place March 19-20, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, Mass. Crane's Bond Fund Symposium offers a concentrated and affordable educational experience, as well as an excellent networking venue, for bond fund and fixed-income professionals. Registrations are now being accepted ($1,000) and sponsorship opportunities (and discounts) are available. We're still looking for a couple of speakers, but see our latest agenda and details below. (We'll also be hosting a Crane Data 20th Birthday Party alongside BFS, so please join us Thursday, March 19 from 5:00-7:00pm at the Boston Hyatt Regency.) 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 Hyatt Regency Boston. We'd like to thank our past sponsors and exhibitors -- Northern Trust Asset Management, Fitch Ratings, Fidelity Investments, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Invesco, BofA Securities, Bloomberg Intelligence, Federated Hermes, Payden & Rygel, PIMCO and Dechert -- for their support. (We'd also love to get some new ones!) E-mail us for more details. We're also making plans for our next "big show," Money Fund Symposium, which will be held June 24-26, 2026, at The Hyatt Regency Jersey City in Jersey City, N.J. (Let us know if you'd like details on speaking or sponsoring.) Also, mark your calendars for our next European Money Fund Symposium, which will be held Sept. 24-25, 2026 in Paris, France. Finally, thanks to those who supported our recent Money Fund University in Pittsburgh! Mark your calendars too for next year's MFU, which will be held Dec. 17-18, 2026 in Greenwich, Conn. (MFU attendees and subscribers may access the conference materials via our "Money Fund University 2025 Download Center.") Watch for details on these shows in coming weeks and months. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from Crane Data and Money Fund Intelligence, and we hope to see you in Boston, Jersey City, Paris or Greenwich in 2026!
