Brown Brothers Harriman'​s ComSet Plus platform, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and others sponsored the event, and "​Cash" panel speakers included Maureen Burke from Merrill Lynch, Michael Kobida from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange'​s IEF2 Money Funds Program, Arthur McCoy from NYMEX, Ken Nehlson from Fimat, and Frank Perrone from BBH.
