- The SEC's Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee announced it will hold a meeting on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 10 a.m.
- The committee's stated agenda is exploring ways to modernize public market access and encourage IPOs.
Why it matters: The July 21 meeting puts IPO market access reform squarely on the SEC's committee calendar, giving small businesses, underwriters, and capital-formation advocates a concrete venue — and a near-term deadline — to push for changes to how smaller companies reach public markets.
