William Blair’s 34th Annual Growth Stock Conference was another great success. The firm’s Institutional Equity Research, Sales, and Trading Group hosted about 1,000 clients from 400 firms to meet with senior management from 230 presenting public companies. Director of the Equity Research Group John O’Toole stated, “We believe that this level of participation is indicative of our conference’s reputation as one of the industry’s signature events.”
Along with the three days of company presentations, we organized more than 4,000 one-on-one meetings and held a rocking event at the House of Blues with Third Eye Blind and a delectable reception at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse.
