Corporate advisory firm D H Flinders Limited is pleased to announce that the first day of The 2 Annual Australian Microcap Investment Conference was a great success with 11 companies presenting and 270 professional investors, stockbrokers and financial advisers attending the event. The second day of the conference is taking place today at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins in the Arthur Streeton Auditorium. Boasting an impressive list of some of the fastest growing companies in Australia, the second day of the Conference is guaranteed to be just as successful. The companies presenting today are: Gage Roads Brewing Company Limited, Webster Limited, Norfolk Group Limited, Circadian Technologies Limited, Patrys Limited, Gale Pacific Limited, Healthzone Limited, Compumedics, NewSat Limited, Advanced Braking Technology and Centuria Capital Limited. The Conference is Australias largest and most comprehensive Microcap event, showcasing the services, products, strategies and people driving todays growth companies. The event will provide investors with an opportunity to hear firsthand from the CEOs of 22 of Australias leading and dynamic microcap companies, from a varied range of sectors, as they showcase their companies, strategies and people. Microcap companies provide access to many niche industry sectors, as well as emerging technologies and business areas that are sometimes overlooked by larger companies. As investment markets begin to recover, many smaller ASX listed companies are well placed to capitalise on growth opportunities. As an example, st Melbourne based NewSat Limited who presented at the 1 Conference last year in August 2010 has seen its share price increase 150%. NewSat Limited is now Australias largest independent satellite company. Similarly, Australian Power and Gas Limited and Patties Foods Limited have seen their share prices increase 27% and 34% respectively over the past 12 months. D H Flinders has partnered with accounting and audit firm Pitcher Partners, investor relations firm Bourse Communications, marketing communications group Motivo, commercial law firm Piper Alderman and global business and financial information firm Bloomberg to present the conference in conjunction with association partners Association of Financial Advisers and Stockbrokers Association of Australia. The Australian Microcap Investment Conference aims to act as a conduit and facilitate the sometimes challenging communication process between a company and its stakeholders, which may include shareholders, stockbrokers, fund managers, analysts, institutions, private investors and the business media. In commenting on Australias largest microcap event, Craig Dunstan, Executive Director of D H Flinders said: We are delighted to have secured 22 outstanding ASX listed companies to present as well as a key note presentation from Bill Laister of Contango Microcap Investors. This year we have over 240 professional investors, stockbrokers and financial advisers registered to attend. The microcap sector is generating greater interest each year as investors realise the gains to be made by investing in smaller companies.
