The agenda includes a discussion with the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance relating to its role in capital formation. There have not been any recent SEC proposed rulemakings related to this area recently. However, the agenda does note that the discussion will highlight certain rulemaking initiatives "relevant to small businesses and their investors." Another panel will focus on smaller VC funds and emerging fund managers and actions that can be taken to encourage investment in early stage companies.
