Symposium

In-Person Investment Adviser Certified Compliance Professional (IACCP) Program Symposium

Tuesday May 13, 2025 12:45 pm

Venue: University of Chicago, Gleacher Center

May 13 – 16

Overview

Complete half the IACCP® Program coursework in 4 days

Attend our Investment Adviser Certified Compliance Professional® Program Symposium, and be half way to completing your IACCP® coursework.*

Designed to go beyond the IA Core Compliance program courses, the IACCP® symposium focuses on the remaining curriculum allowing an attendee to fast track their completion of the program course requirements or provide non-program enrollees a structured continuing education** event on topics beyond the foundational rules of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Instructors will take you through 10 educational sessions over four days, covering key investment adviser regulations and compliance program administration. These include:

  • 3 sessions on Investment Adviser Trading.
  • 2 sessions on Mandates beyond the Investment Advisers Act.
  • 2 sessions on Performance Advertising and GIPS.
  • 1 session each on SEC Examinations, CCO Liability, and Critical Skills for High-Performance Compliance Professionals.

Attendee comments

The symposium is my go-to for getting my continuing education credits for my IACCP® designation. These sessions are always packed with a lot of good and practical information.

This program is the only one I have found so far that covers Investment Adviser specific information. It was also an opportunity to fast track my IACCP® education, which was a bonus!
