Never before has there been such an urgent need for markets to deploy capital.
Capital markets recognize and drive capital to the best ideas and enterprises. SIFMA’s Annual Meeting brings together the most influential voices shaping our markets from a cross-section of public policy and finance. Each year, through candid one-on-one conversations and expert panel discussions, we tackle the industry's toughest challenges and look to opportunities ahead.
The 2020 Annual Meeting provides a virtual forum for market participants to stay connected during this extraordinary time. On October 19-20, we gathered financial industry leaders, regulators and policymakers to discuss issues critical to the strength, effectiveness and resiliency of our capital markets.
