Highlighting a variety of pressing topics for emerging growth companies, including the evolution of fintech, an update on women’s issues in the workplace, and how companies and investors should react to the new crowdfunding rules, the forum featured 15 different speakers in four panels and a fireside chat over the course of the day.
