Luan Cox, CfPA Governing Board Member and Founder of Crowdnetic, states, “Our vision is simple, yet ambitious—we want to educate the crowd on how to raise capital, spurring job growth for startup and emerging companies. We are dedicated to redefining success for businesses and the economy through facilitating a vibrant, credible and growing crowdfunding community globally.”

Presented by the association of crowdfunding pioneers that helped write the JOBS Act, expert financial services professionals, and innovative services providers, current issues will be addressed through intimate discussions and breakout sessions.

The CfPA is the industry’s pioneering, nonprofit trade organization established by the thought leaders who founded the crowdfund investing movement in the United States, those who wrote the framework for President Obama’s Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (JOBS Act) and the dedicated individuals who lobbied for its passage, which was signed into law on April 5th, 2012.

The Forum, sponsored by CrowdClear and Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, will address key topics through a unique and interactive format, including crowd investing and Wall Street, the legal and regulatory environment and the crowdfunding ecosystem and innovative technologies.

CfPA’s 2nd Annual Crowdfund Investing Innovation Forum will spark change, challenge and debate conventional thinking and unleash new perspectives in the pursuit of real solutions.
