The Spanish Capital Markets Forum 2008
We return to Spain in 2008 after last year’s successful Spanish Capital Markets Forum which saw some of the country’s leading financiers gather at the Casino de Madrid for a packed day of discussion and debate. Since October 2007, the economic picture has deteriorated as the housing sector continues to correct itself and the credit crunch bites. But recent optimistic issues from both the Government and private sector signal a willingness to defy market pessimism. There will be much to discuss in September after a year dominated by volatility and uncertainty.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Seminar
SIFMA’s FCPA Seminar is a half-day program covering Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance for the securities industry. The conference will bring together the leading experts from industry and government to discuss the most recent developments and requirements in FCPA compliance. FCPA continues to be a high priority for law enforcement both in the U.S. and around the world. Last year brought record-setting fines and sanctions. As a result, securities firms today face the possibility of enforcement actions not only in the US but in other jurisdictions as foreign governments take a tougher stand on corruption.
