James Carville and Mary Matalin to Keynote Opening Day of 2017 Marcum MicroCap Conference
New York City, NY – Political pundits James Carville and Mary Matalin will be the featured keynote speakers on the opening day of the 2017 Marcum MicroCap Conference, on Thursday, June 15. The event, presented by accounting and advisory firm Marcum LLP, will take place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City.
The keynote presentation by the renowned Democratic-Republican husband-and-wife team will be a moderated discussion entitled 150 Days into the New Administration: What has Happened and What to Expect.
James “The Ragin’ Cajun” Carville is America’s best-known political consultant, responsible for an unbroken record of landslide electoral victories that culminated with the election of President Bill Clinton in 1992. He is also a best-selling author, actor, producer, talk-show host, speaker, restaurateur, pollster, civic activist, and college professor.
Mary Matalin is one of the most celebrated and popular conservative voices in America. An author, television and radio host, political commentator, public speaker, and activist, she served in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and was President George H.W. Bush’s campaign director, assistant to both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and chief of staff to Republican National Committee Chairman Lee Atwater.
“These two accomplished political observers are sure to give us tremendous insight, from both sides of the aisle, into how the new Presidential administration is likely to impact entrepreneurs, public companies, and the business community in general,” said David Bukzin, partner-in-charge of Marcum’s SEC Services Practice group and chair of the event. “The he said-she said format will add some entertainment value that should make the discussion a highlight of the conference.”
Carville and Matalin join a group of distinguished keynote presenters at the Marcum MicroCap Conference, which last year featured former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt. Other past keynote speakers have included Richard Fuld, Jr., chairman of Matrix Advisors and former CEO of Lehman Brothers; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; and Steven Rattner, chairman of Willett Advisors, Michael Bloomberg’s investment manager.
