RE: MARK YOUR CALENDAR - 1999 INVESTMENT COMPANY DIRECTORS
CONFERENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
The Investment Company Institute is holding its Sixth Annual Investment Company Directors
Conference, October 27–29, 1999 in Washington, DC, and again on November 8–10, 1999 in Chicago,
Illinois. We plan to devote one full day of the conference to interactive sessions focusing on the
recommendations in the report of the Advisory Group on Best Practices for Fund Directors. In the past,
the Directors Conference has been open only to Institute members and their directors and trustees.
Because of the importance of the Best Practices report to all industry participants, the Institute will open
the conference this year to non-members after a designated date. Attendance at each conference will be
limited to 250 persons.
The conference will open with registration and a reception on Wednesday evening, October 27 in
Washington and on Monday evening, November 8 in Chicago. We anticipate that the program will end
at noon on the last day of the conference and will be followed by an informal lunch from noon to 2:00. A
preliminary program and registration form for this event will be mailed to you in early August.
