Crowdfunding ECO Town Hall Ask to Join

Join the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA) on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT for a timely conversation on one of the most practical questions in exempt capital formation: how Regulation Crowdfunding may interact with Rule 506(b), Rule 506(c), Regulation A Tier 2, and other fundraising pathways. The panel will discuss what “side-by-side” really means, why issuers may use more than one exemption, and the mechanics of running side-by-side offerings.

This discussion is designed for crowdfunding professionals, platforms, issuers, service providers, and others navigating the evolving exempt offering landscape.
