Leaders of European and Australian Platforms Will Participate in a Debate at Crowdfunding Conference

DENVER - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- The conference program includes keynote speeches, presentations, four panel discussions and a cocktail reception. The conference attendees will hear from more than twenty experts from eight states. Morning Session will examine rewards based crowdfunding. Afternoon Session will include discussions about business financing options.

Probably, the most intriguing part of the conference is a debate between advocates and opponents of crowdfunding. Among onsite participants are lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs and crowdfunders from New York, California, Utah and Colorado.

While equity crowdfunding is still illegal in the United States, it has been present in Europe and Australia for several years. For the first time, the debate will include (via video conference) the founders of leading international equity crowdfunding platforms from the United Kingdom, Australia and Netherlands. They will share their experience of implementing social fundraising in practice.

Those who are interested in learning about crowdfunding but can not visit Colorado will be able to watch the conference and ask questions through the live stream.
