While Crane Data is busy preparing for its second annual Money Fund University, a "basic training" conference for money market professionals January 19-20 at the Boston Hyatt, we're also busy preparing for our 4th annual Crane's Money Fund Symposium. Mark your calendars for our 2012 Money Fund Symposium, which will be June 20-22, 2012, at The Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh. Our Symposium in Philadelphia last summer attracted almost 400 speakers, sponsors, and attendees, and we expect our 4th annual money fund conference to be even bigger and better. Our 2012 keynote speakers include: Chris Donahue, CEO & Chairman of Federated Investors and Karen Dunn Kelley, CEO of Invesco Worldwide Fixed Income. (See the full preliminary agenda here.) Crane's Money Fund Symposium offers money market portfolio managers, investors, issuers, and service providers a concentrated and affordable educational experience, as well as an excellent and informal networking venue. Registration for Crane's Money Fund Symposium 2012 will (again) be $750; exhibit space is $3,000; and sponsorship opportunities are $4.5K, $6K, $7.5K, and $10K. Our mission continues to be to deliver a better and less expensive conference alternative to money market fund professionals and investors. We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!
