Conference Schedule: AMA, ICI, Crane
Crane Data, money fund providers, and various segments of the cash marketplace are preparing for a number of conferences over the coming weeks and months. Below, we review and list several that we'll be speaking at, attending, or hosting. First on our agenda is the SIFMA AMA Roundtable, which takes place May 1-3 in Miami, Fla. Our Peter Crane will speak on "Money Fund Trends & Lineup Shifts and he'll host a "Cash Sweeps & MM Products" panel, which will feature Kevin Bannerton from Total Bank Solutions, Tom Nelson from Reich & Tang and Doug Pagliaro from UMB. The SIFMA AMA Roundtable involves Brokerage product and sweep professionals and is run in conjunction with the SIFMA Ops Conference. (Contact Crane Data or SIFMA's Charles DeSimone to ask about attending or to see the agenda.) We won't be attending this year, but next on the conference calendar is New England AFP's Annual Conference, which is May 2-4 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Crane Data will be exhibiting at this year's ICI General Membership Meeting, which isn't expected to have much money fund content. But fund industry heavyweights will all be there, and we'll be discussing fund issues and pushing our new Bond Fund Intelligence product line. In early June, the New York Cash Exchange takes place (June 1-3 in NYC), and then our big show, Money Fund Symposium takes place June 22-24 at the Philadelphia Marriott. (We encourage attendees to make their hotel reservations and to register soon. The hotel always sells out.) We'll also be hosting our next European Money Fund Symposium, Sept. 20-21, 2016 in London, and the biggest show for corporate treasurers and money fund salespeople, the AFP Annual Conference will be Oct. 23-25 in Orlando, Fla. Finally, mark your calendars (and watch for the websites to go live in coming months) for Crane's Money Fund University 2017, Jan. 19-20, 2017 in Jersey City, NJ. and for Crane's Bond Fund Symposium, March 23-24, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Boston.
