SME Capital Market Webinars are designed to inform decision makers in defined capital market segments. Small public company decision makers are one example.
There are more than 14,000 small public company decision makers in the U.S. small public issuer capital market. This group includes more than 9,500 SB-2 and 10KSB Officers and Directors, 2,400 attorneys, 450 auditors and 1,500 market participants or specialty service and solution providers.
Past projects to develop information pieces about the small public company capital market segment and survey its decision makers have made it possible to communicate with a fair number of these decision makers.
Survey feedback and other communications with small public company decision makers reveals that that many people want strategic overview information that addresses small public company issues.
The Webinar Survey is designed to identify topics that can be covered during webinars that will help small issuer decision makers address the impact of recent SEC reforms.
Examples of past webinar presentations that were well received by small public company decision makers include:
