A livestreamed discussion by the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Division of Corporation Finance will explore regulatory changes and ways to help companies access and remain in public markets.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Division of Corporation Finance will co-host a livestreamed discussion on Monday, July 13, 2026 at 2 p.m. focused on re-examining the IPO process and reassessing how companies of all sizes access public capital. The event will bring together practitioners and market professionals to challenge conventional approaches, discuss potential regulatory solutions and share perspectives on recent proposed rule changes. The discussion is set to center on strategies to help companies enter the public capital markets and maintain their public company status. The event will be webcast on SEC.gov, with a recording to be posted later, and virtual attendance will not require registration. The session comes alongside broader SEC discussions in July over how to modernize public market access and reduce regulatory friction for issuers.
