What’s happening with the NRS® Compliance Conference? If you are a dedicated attendee of the conference – whether for Investment Adviser Certification Compliance Professionals (IACCP®) accreditation or simply because you are a compliance professional serving an investment adviser, broker-dealer or such who likes to stay in the know on the latest compliance trends and updates – you might be asking this exact question. The answer is an exciting one.
In late 2021, NRS was acquired by the ComplySci® company as one of three strategic acquisition which helped to create one of the most robust, comprehensive compliance offerings on the market today. As part of this acquisition process, NRS brought with it a legacy of continued education and compliance and consulting excellence, to add to the robust product offerings of ComplySci family of firms, which also now includes RIA in a Box and illumis. When we began planning this year’s fall conference, we knew it was time to grow it right along our family of firms, which lead to the introduction of the first annual industrywide ComplyConnect Conference & Expo.
“The ComplySci portfolio of companies has witnessed firsthand the evolution of regulatory compliance, most acutely in the last few years as compliance professionals have faced an avalanche of increased risk and regulatory enforcement,” said ComplySci Chief Executive Officer Amy Kadomatsu.
“As our family of firms continues to grow, we wanted to build on the success of the long-standing NRS fall conference to create an all-encompassing industry event, one which addresses the needs of our industry in a way that hasn’t been done in the past. Because although incredibly critical to the long-term success of firms, there are not a lot of opportunities for chief compliance officers and their teams to connect and engage in discussions. The first-ever ComplyConnect Conference and Expo will provide them with a chance to do just that.”
