Ian Cassel discusses the success of the recent Vegas conference, held at the Bellagio, which aimed to elevate the perception of micro-cap investing. The key performance indicator for the event was the average number of one-on-one meetings each presenting company had with investors, which averaged 16-17.
“And the main KPI I look at for our events is how many one-on-one meetings each company has on average, because that keeps us honest as a conference organization.”
“And, I think this last year we had 16 or 17 on average per company, and we had 147 companies that were there.”
“And hopefully turn the Vegas one into sort of the Berkshire of micro-cap, you know, kind of create that, you know, reputable pull, you know, in the ecosystem.”
