RE: 1998 INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS CONFERENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
The Investment Company Institute is holding its Fifth Annual Investment Company
Directors Conference on October 28 - October 30, 1998 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in
Washington, DC. Enclosed is the preliminary program and registration form.
The Conference reflects the importance to the industry and shareholders of well-
informed boards, and the increasing challenges and complexities that fund directors face in
representing the interests of fund shareholders. The Conference will feature a varied program
of industry experts, government officials and experienced fund directors sharing their
perspectives on issues of interest and concern to the fund director community. Additionally, it
will provide opportunities for fund directors to meet with their peers informally and in group
discussions.
Attendance at the Conference is limited to directors, trustees, partners, officers, and
employees of Institute members, and will be limited to a total of 250 persons. Until September
25, registration for the Conference will be open to currently serving directors of Institute
member investment companies. Registration forms received from other Institute member
representatives prior to September 25 will be held until that date and then processed on a
first-come, first-served basis as space permits. The Institute requests that registrations be
received by October 16. All registrations will be confirmed by mail.
Please call the Capital Hilton Hotel at 202/393-1000 to make your hotel reservations
