ICR XChange

ICR XChange

U.S.

The ICR XChange has quickly become a unique annual event that showcases a variety of small cap growth ideas to Wall Street investors.  We recently hosted our 10th Annual event at The St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California and it was an overwhelming success.  Participating were more than 100 high-profile growth companies in consumer or consumer-related sectors.  Another 35 private companies presented during an invitation-only event.

Over 1,200 investors, analysts, and investment bankers were in attendance to hear the latest updates from participating management teams.  Some of the private equity firms in attendance included Apax Partners, Bruckman Rosser Sherrill, Catterton Partners, Leonard Green Assoc, Investcorp, and Och Ziff.  Attending institutional investors included Fidelity, Wellington, Delaware Asset, Essex Investments, Lord Abbott, Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co., T Rowe Price, and Trust Company of the West just to name a few.  Each presenting company also hosted breakout sessions to address specific questions and concerns.

Interest in the XChange from the major players in the financial community continues to grow each year.  Since 2004, we have doubled the number of sponsors from nine to eighteen.  We were pleased to have the following organizations serve as sponsors of our most recent event: 

Deutsche Bank
Mayfair Group
Piper Jaffray
Wachovia 

BB&T Capital Markets
Business Wire
CIBC World Markets

We also received media coverage by outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and CNBC Live.

ICR will return to the St. Regis Monarch Beach for its 11th Annual ICR XChange on January 14-15, 2009.  Please check our web site later in 2008 for more information.
