Crowdfund Productions (www.CrowdfundProductions.com), Colorado based crowdfunding consulting and event management company, completed a research “Crowdfunding for Wearable Technologies”.

The passage of the JOBS Act has created new opportunities in the private investments industry. This legislation has resulted in high expectations but also raised many concerns. This fall we saw two major developments: in September, an 80-year ban on general solicitation was removed, allowing private companies and investment funds to openly promote their fund-raising needs. Then, in October, the SEC voted on the rules for crowdfunding to allow nonaccredited investors to participate. Aside from the legal battles, we witnessed the emergence of new crowdfunding portals and entrance into the industry of established financial institutions and global corporations.

More than twenty experts from five states will gather on November 15th in Chicago to discuss the latest developments in crowdfunding industry at Midwest Crowdfunding Conference.

Crowdfunding workshop was voted as the second most desirable topic for discussion at Denver Startup Week, an annual business gathering which attracts several thousand local entrepreneurs. All available spots were taken almost three weeks prior to the event on September 20th. A representative of IBM spoke at the Crowdfunding East conference in Boston at the end of August. These are the components of the same movement: crowdfunding is becoming an essential part of the business for all types of enterprises, from garage entrepreneurs to global corporations.

The full-day Aug. 28 conference program includes panel discussions, hands-on workshop, presentations and a debate about the JOBS Act. 28 speakers representing 12 crowdfunding platforms, peer-to-peer lending, angel investors, innovation incubators and lawyers will present different options for folks looking to raise money for their projects.

Leaders of fifteen crowdfunding platforms from six States and Canada, entrepreneurs and investment experts will gather on August 28th in Massachusetts
