Inaugural Series of Hedge Fund Workshops Starts in July - 16 Hours of Education Credit to CPAs and Attorneys

Opalesque has launched its Conferences Division, which is a joint venture between publisher Opalesque Ltd., and Janice M. Johnson, a widely recognized originator of alternative investment and other tax and financial services conferences for the past two decades.

The first series produced by the Conferences Division will be a series of Alternative Investment Workshops designed to more fully explore issues encountered in advising and managing the formation and operation of funds. The workshops will be held every Tuesday morning, beginning July 22, 2008 and running on consecutive Tuesdays through August 12, 2008.

16 Hours of Education Credit to CPAs and Attorneys Each workshop is designed to provide 4 hours of continuing education credits to CPAs and attorneys. They are being sponsored overall by Crowell & Moring, and by the newly combined organizations of Custom House and Equity Trust. All sessions will be held at the Yale Club in New York City.

These four workshops are designed to give hedge fund professionals a better understanding of specific issues confronting the hedge fund industry. They range in coverage from Dissecting the Private Placement Memorandum, to an In-Depth Exploration of Tax and Accounting Issues, to Planning for Hedge Fund Managers and Investors, to Delving into the Growing World of Alternative Alternatives.
