- SEC's Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Division of Corporation Finance will co-host a livestreamed virtual roundtable on Monday, July 13, 2026, at 2 p.m.
- The event aims to re-examine the IPO process and reassess the framework for how companies of all sizes access public capital markets.
- Practitioners and seasoned professionals will challenge conventional approaches, propose regulatory solutions, and share insights into recent proposed rule changes.
- The discussion will focus on strategies to support companies in accessing public capital markets and maintaining their public company status.
- The event will be webcast on SEC.gov without registration, with a recording made available on the website at a later date.
Why it matters: The SEC is gathering practitioner input on both how companies access public markets and how they stay public, giving advisors and issuers a direct line into potential rulemaking on IPO reform. Because the roundtable is webcast with no registration, the small-cap companies named in the SEC's own framing can engage directly with the discussion at no cost.
