The SEC’s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation is partnering with the Division of Corporation Finance to host a live-streamed virtual discussion titled “Rethinking the Rulebook: Modernizing the IPO Process and Access to Public Capital.” The announcement notes that the program is:

Designed to unite innovative and seasoned practitioners who are willing to question conventional approaches, propose regulatory solutions, and share insights on the Commission’s recent proposed rule changes. The event will focus on ways to support public companies in raising capital and maintaining their public status, inviting participants to contribute their expertise and engage in meaningful dialogue about modernizing the IPO process and improving access to public markets.

The program will be moderated by Courtney Haseley from the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and Ted Yu from the Division of Corporation Finance. Registration for this program is not required.
