New York, April 19, 2012 – CCG Investor Relations, a leading global investor relations and strategic communications agency, today announced that the agency will serve as the Organizer and Platinum Sponsor of the 1st Annual Marcum MicroCap Conference on June 20th at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC.  CCG is honored to organize and sponsor this exciting event which will gather exceptional companies under $500 million in market capitalization as well as institutional investors, mutual funds, hedge funds, wealth managers, and family offices.

This one day conference will feature high-growth, high-potential companies from various sectors, including:

"The financial crisis dramatically altered the landscape of the investment banking industry.  Smaller investment banks were especially affected by the contraction of the market and there has been a lack of opportunities to showcase sub-$500 million market cap companies to the institutional market,” said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Investor Relations.

"The Marcum MicroCap Conference will showcase the 'best-of-the-best' micro-cap firms, specially selected by top research houses that focus on the small-cap arena in a broad range of growth sectors.   Astute investors know that over the long term, smart selection of smaller capitalization equities can produce substantial, positive returns.   The conference provides well-managed, little-known companies the opportunity to exhibit their capabilities, while providing a forum for top analysts and advisors focused on the micro-cap market to share their insights and advice on how to maximize risk reward in this niche market," Coulson added.   

The Marcum MicroCap conference will commence with a keynote address by an esteemed and high profile speaker and will feature a luncheon panel for analysts from the sponsoring investment banks to present their "Top Micro-Cap Pick for 2012."  The conference will also feature panel discussions focused on issues that are of key interest to the financial community involved with micro and small-cap growth companies.  Topics of discussion will include:
