Washington, D.C., Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA) is pleased to announce the 2025 Regulated Investment Crowdfunding Industry and Leadership Summit, taking place October 21-22, 2025, at the National Union Building (918 F St NW, Washington, DC).
Now in its second year welcoming national regulators and policymakers, the CfPA Summit convenes a diverse ecosystem of practitioners, investors, issuers, and service providers working to expand access to capital through regulated crowdfunding.
“The regulated investment crowdfunding market is rapidly innovating,” said Jenny Kassan, CfPA Board Director and 2025 President. “And we think that trend will only accelerate as the industry adjusts to new regulatory and legislative initiatives that are in motion for the year ahead. In addition to provide a forum for industry operators to share knowledge and compare best practices, this Summit creates space where people making policy decisions can meet the practitioners who live with those decisions daily.”
