The Second 2008 Growth & Value Investor Conference Leaves Attendees Calling for an Encore

The summer session of the 2008 Growth and Value -- Sunshine on Wall Street -- Investor Conference concluded June 17 after a successful program at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Boca Raton.

More than 170 accredited investors, financial advisors, stockbrokers and interested observers enjoyed complimentary food and beverages, and a rare opportunity to see and learn about some of the most exciting publicly held Chinese companies trading today.

At each session, attendees heard informative presentations from each company's Chief Executive Officer and senior executive management, followed by question and answer sessions. Further, one-on-one opportunities were conducted with the CEOs and executives.

"This is summer, and the conference still packed the house," said investment advisor Jim DePelisi, who sponsored the event. "The general consensus was that it was a resounding success."

DePelisi added he was looking forward to the next investor conference, tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2008.

"I saw many faces who attended the inaugural conference back in February," said John Fakler, a consultant with Media Logistics LLC in Coconut Creek. "The air of anticipation for the next conference was palpable."

Three of the four top presenters were Chinese-related companies. All four represent critical new business models in a challenging economic climate.

"This conference really hit home with the current economy and energy conditions in the world today," said DePelisi.
