The Association for Financial Professionals, which was formerly known as the Treasury Management Association, will host its Annual Conference in Boston, on November 6-9. Dozens of money market mutual fund providers and portals will exhibit, and over 5,000 attendees, primarily corporate treasurers, financial professionals and bankers, will attend. There are several sessions involving money market mutual funds and cash investing, including: "Under the Cash Hood: Looking Beyond Yield at Money Market Mutual Fund Holdings" by Crane Data's Peter Crane and Genzyme's Coleman Nee, Jr.; "Evaluating Risk in Money Market Funds" with BofA Funds' Dale Albright; "The Role of Commercial Paper in Short Term Markets: An Essential Source of Financing and Investing" with JPMorgan's John Kodweis; and, "How to Conduct a Due Diligence Meeting with a Money Market Fund Complex" with Morgan Stanley's Michael Cha. Note that the full agenda is now posted and registration is open for Crane's Money Fund University, a "basic training" in money markets and money funds, which will take place January 19-20, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency in Boston.
