NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--()--ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com, a relationship-driven investment bank focused on serving emerging growth companies and their investors, will host its 28th Annual Growth Stock Conference March 13-16, 2016, at The Ritz Carlton, located at 1 Ritz Carlton Drive, Dana Point, Calif.

One of the largest of its kind, ROTH’s flagship three-day investment conference brings together executives from more than 500 public and private companies and approximately 1,000 investors. The event provides attendees with investment ideas across a variety of sectors, including Business Services, Consumer, Cleantech and Industrial Growth, Energy, Healthcare, Oil and Gas, Mining, and Technology & Media. Company presentations, Q&A sessions, panels and management one-on-one meetings offer investor clients opportunities for extensive interaction with executive management to gain in-depth insights into each business and sector.

"This is our flagship conference, and we look forward to this event each year," said Byron Roth, CEO of ROTH. “We believe that our conferences provide participants with a unique opportunity to gain insight into emerging growth companies across a variety of sectors while also socializing and enjoying themselves in a beautiful setting. For over 27 years, ROTH has served as a trusted partner and advisor to our clients, and we intend to continue on the forefront of identifying opportunities for their benefit. We are particularly excited about the Social Sunday events this year, featuring physical activities (bike, spin, golf, and tennis) to support The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), http://www.challengedathletes.org by raising money to fund grants for these physically challenged athletes so they can participate in the sports that they love. Over the past five years, ROTH has raised over $500,000 to help support CAF.”

Following the Sunday activities, there are two plenary presentations – a keynote speech on the impact of recent advances in understanding the human genome and how it can help extend our lives by Dr. J. Craig Venter, and a panel discussion featuring two members of the six-man team that defended U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya – Exploring the Human Genome with J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. and Tig & Oz - "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi"

As in prior years, ROTH’s research and banking teams have assembled a number of panels during Monday and Tuesday designed to educate and promote sector-specific discussion, including:

  • Millennial Moms
 
  • IPO Readiness
  • The Elephant in the Room | Oil & Gas
