The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the agenda and panelists for next week’s Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation.

The event will begin at 9 a.m. on November 15 and will include two morning panel discussions. The first panel will focus on JOBS Act implementation and the second panel will focus on small business capital formation issues not addressed by the JOBS Act. In the afternoon, breakout groups will develop recommendations on a variety of issues related to small business capital formation.

The small business forum will take place at the SEC’s Washington D.C. headquarters and is open to public. The morning sessions will be webcast live at www.sec.gov. The afternoon breakout group sessions will not be webcast, but will be open to the public and accessible by phone. Anyone wishing to participate in a breakout group session either in person or by phone must pre-register online by November 14. Background materials are available on the small business forum webpage.
