The Crowdfund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates (CFIRA) announced on Wednesday that it has formed a partnership with Crowdfunding Capital Advisors (CCA) and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) to host the upcoming event, Crowdfunding Showcase and Celebration.
The event, which will be held on May 16th in Washington D.C.’s U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, will showcase innovative crowdfunding technologies and celebrate Title III of the JOBS Act coming into effect.
Chris Tyrrell, the chairman of CFIRA’s board of directors, commented:
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with CCA and SBE Council to host the Crowdfunding Showcase and Celebration and mark the tremendous strides the crowdfunding industry has made in the past few years. We hope this event demonstrates the industry’s recent advancements and the positive impact that Title III will have on the future of the economy and investment industry.”
CCA principal Sherwood Neiss stated the event will show regulators, policymakers and other key stakeholders in DC how crowdfunding is being done compliantly by the best-in-class service providers:
“There is no better way to commemorate the launch of regulation crowdfunding than to showcase what smart entrepreneurs should use to assist them in being compliant with this new law.”
Karen Kerrigan, president and CEO of the SBE Council, added:
“The spirit and purpose behind equity crowdfunding for all was to ensure entrepreneurs and small businesses have more opportunities to access startup and growth capital. At the showcase, members of Congress, regulators and policy leaders will see how entrepreneurs can raise capital more efficiently while protecting investors more effectively. We are very excited about the future, and the fact that Title III crowdfunding is set to go live on May 16.”
