12:45 pm – 1:45 pm      Entrepreneur Fire Thy Self

As small business owners, 3PM’s usually run their daytoday operations with little outside help.  But given the demands of a small business is this really an efficient use of our time? The answer is probably not in fact, there is probably a more cost effective solution that would allow all of us to offload these responsibilities and focus our attention on selling product. Attendees will hear from a variety of 3PMs who have outsourced or implemented technological solutions to help manage their business more effectively.  It is our bet that by the end of this session, all of us will be firing ourselves from those every day nonrevenue generating tasks and implementing the new software or outsourcing solutions discussed by our panelists.

Moderator: Joe Lydon – GoaL Consulting Group

Speakers: Brian Fitzgibbon – Fitzgibbon Toigo, David Frank – Stonehaven, and Steven Rubenstein – Arrow Partners

1:45 pm – 2:45 pm        Regulatory Update

Panelist will provide attendees with important regulatory updates.  Tom Sellman will discuss FINRA’s proposed “Limited Corporate Financing Broker Registration” while Gary Goldsholle will provide an update related to the MSRB and Municipal Advisors.

Moderator: Donna DiMaria – Tessera Capital Partners, LLC

Panelists: Thomas Selman Executive VP, Regulatory Policy, FINRA and Gary Goldsholle – General Counsel, MSRB

2:45 pm – 3:45 pm     Speed Dialogue: The Traditional 3PM Open Dialogue Session meets Speed Dating

Due to the success of this session at last year’s event, Speed Dialogue is back by popular demand.  During this session, attendees will be presented with a series of scenarios and/or issues that each 3PM is likely to encounter throughout their tenure in this business.  Attendees will be given a limited amount of time to discuss each topic with a small group of their peers and hear differing opinions on how to handle these real life situations.  To keep things interesting each group will be shifted around after each issue is presented and discussed.  The goal of this session is to give attendees an opportunity to meet as many 3PMs as possible and hopefully come away with some new contacts. Because of the limited time allotted to each discussion group, there will be no time for introductions.  As such, each attendee should come with a stack of business cards to give to the other 3PMs they meet.
