Fifth Annual Short-Term Funding Markets Conference
April 22, 2022
8:50 a.m to 5:10 p.m. ET
Short-term funding markets provide essential short-tenor financing for banks, dealers, and nonfinancial firms. They also play a central role in monetary policy transmission. These markets have experienced substantial funding stress and investor runs during the 07-09 financial crisis and the recent Covid-19 market turmoil, destabilizing the financial markets and beyond.
This conference is held jointly with the Federal Reserve.
Conference on Financial Market Regulation

The SEC, CFA Institute, Center for Financial Services at Lehigh University, and the Center for Financial Policy at Maryland Smith are pleased to jointly host the seventh annual Conference on Financial Market Regulation. The goal of the conference is to bring together participants from academia, industry and the SEC for an exchange of views on topics of relevance to the commission.
The Blockchain Business Imperative Certificate Program
Blockchain has started the process, some say revolution, of transforming our “analog” assets into “digital” assets. Blockchain leverages fundamental computing advances within cryptography, distributed systems and peer-to-peer networks to create a global system for individuals to acquire, hold and transact with digital assets without the need for a centralized party acting as a guarantor.

This accelerator will help early-stage companies from around the country access content and mentorship to systematically advance their businesses. Entirely virtual, the accelerator will leverage the FounderTrac platform. The 45-day program culminates in a Demo Day where participating companies will have an opportunity to pitch to investors.
