European Money Fund Symposium
With just under a month to go, we're finalizing preparations for our 12th Annual European Money Fund Symposium, which will take place Sept. 24-25 at the Pullman Hotel in Paris, France. The latest agenda is available and registrations are still being taken for our European money market mutual fund event. We provide more details on the show below. Our 2025 European Symposium event in Dublin attracted almost 200 money fund professionals, sponsors and speakers. Given the continued growth in money fund assets, trends like tokenization and expectations for another round of regulatory changes in Europe, we expect our show in Paris to once again be the largest gathering of money market professionals outside the U.S. Registration for European Money Fund Symposium is $1,000 USD. EMFS will be held at the Hotel Pullman Paris La Defense. Hotel rooms must be booked before August 3 to receive our discounted rate of E250. Visit www.craneeurosymposium.com to register, and contact us to request the PDF brochure. (Let us know too if you'd like information on sponsorships or speaking in future years too.) Also, we're making plans for our next "basic training" event, Crane's Money Fund University, which will be held in Greenwich, Conn., Dec. 17-18, 2026. Money Fund University covers the history of money funds, interest rates, regulations (Rule 2a-7), ratings, rankings, money market instruments such as commercial paper, CDs and Treasuries, and portfolio construction and credit analysis. We also include segments on offshore money funds and ultra-short bond funds. Money Fund University's comprehensive program is good for both beginners and experienced professionals looking for a refresher. Mark your calendars too for our next Bond Fund Symposium, which will be held in Philadelphia on March 22-23, 2027. (Click here to see last year's agenda.) Bond Fund Symposium is the only conference devoted entirely to bond mutual funds, bringing together bond fund managers, marketers, and professionals with fixed-income issuers, investors and service providers. The majority of the content is aimed at the growing ultra-short and conservative ultra-short bond fund marketplace. Finally, Crane Data will begin preparations this fall for our next big show, Money Fund Symposium, which is scheduled for June 23-25, 2027 in Philadelphia, Pa. The 2027 MFS agenda will be released late this year and registration will open in the fall.
