Crane Data is ramping up preparations for its ninth annual Bond Fund Symposium, a conference focused on ultra-short bond funds and ETFs, which will take place March 19-20, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, Mass. Crane's Bond Fund Symposium offers a concentrated and affordable educational experience, as well as an excellent networking venue, for bond fund and fixed-income professionals. Registrations are being accepted ($1,000) and sponsorship opportunities are still available. (We'll "match" and do 2-for-1 tickets if you ask!) See the latest agenda here and details below. (We'll also be hosting Crane Data's 20th Birthday Party alongside BFS, so please join us Thursday, March 19 from 5:00-7:00pm at the Hyatt Regency in Boston.) Portfolio managers, analysts, investors, issuers, service providers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of bond funds and fixed-income investing will benefit from our comprehensive program. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hyatt Regency Boston. We'd like to thank our sponsors and exhibitors -- Northern Trust Asset Management, UBS Asset Management, Capitolis, Mayer Brown, Northcross, Fitch Ratings, Fidelity Investments, J.P. Morgan, Bloomberg Intelligence, Dreyfus, Payden & Rygel, PIMCO and Dechert -- for their support. (We'd also love to get some new ones!) E-mail us for more details. We're also making plans for our "big show," Money Fund Symposium, which will be held June 24-26, 2026, at The Hyatt Regency Jersey City in Jersey City, N.J.. Finally, mark your calendars for this year's European Money Fund Symposium, which will be held Sept. 24-25 in Paris, France, and for our next Money Fund University, which will be held Dec. 17-18 in Greenwich, Conn. Watch for details on these shows in coming weeks and months.
