"Crowdfunding is a new frontier, filled with new opportunities and new challenges. This conference brings together many of the industry leaders," says Roderick. "I hope that I and the many excellent panelists can help those attending to shape and realize their own opportunities in this rapidly evolving space. I am privileged, excited and humbled to participate at the summit next month."

Over the course of more than 25 years, Roderick has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs raise capital, build businesses and navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape and is currently using the same skill set with portals and other crowdfunding clients. A former managing partner of Flaster/Greenberg and past chair of its Corporate and Business Law Practice Group, Roderick understands the challenges of business. He has represented companies and investors in almost every industry, including technology, real estate and healthcare.

"When looking for keynote speakers, we only wanted the best," says Andrea Downs, conference organizer and CEO of Coastal Shows. "Nothing is more critical for real estate syndicators and investors than understanding the regulatory landscape. We are very excited to have such a knowledgeable speaker that understands the ins and outs of JOBS Act regulations and the impact they will make within the real estate and alternative asset landscape."

With his in-depth knowledge of and experience with the investment process and the capital-formation industry, Roderick is spearheading Flaster/Greenberg's crowdfunding practice, where he helps investors, portals and companies take advantage of the enormous opportunities created by the JOBS Act.

Roderick writes and lectures frequently for professional groups and entrepreneurs. He also maintains a crowdfunding blog, where he explains the complex laws and regulations in plain English. His Crowdfunding Cheat Sheet is a handy reference for those trying to keep up with this rapidly evolving industry.
