The tutorial will discuss the more developed markets in Brazil and Mexico as well as developing markets in Chile and Colombia. This tutorial will also address common industry misperceptions about the different securities lending and borrowing markets in the region.

PRIVATE EVENTS
A private event is an invitation-only outing, dinner party, or reception hosted by an organization or group other than the RMA. Private events are not considered part of the conference program agenda and, as such, should not interfere with the conference program or sponsored events. Please refrain from holding events on Monday evening before 10:00 p.m. If your organization is planning an event for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evening, please plan the start of the event for 7:30 p.m. or later. If your organization is providing transportation to off-site venues, delegates should not be picked up at the hotel until 7:00 p.m. We ask that you please support the sponsors of all of the conference events recognizing their financial commitment to the particular event (food/beverage cost) and the conference.
RMA would also very much appreciate your cooperation in refraining from scheduling any other events, such as golf outings and special tours, during the conference business program.
The Boca Raton Resort has excellent restaurants for your private dinners, as well as great venues for more casual events. If you would like information on planning an event at Boca please contact Convention Services Manager Howard Goldberg at hgoldberg@luxuryresorts.com.
