One hundred and one unique micro-cap companies from various industries are scheduled to present to hundreds of institutional investors over the course of the two-day event. Merriman Capital, an investment banking firm focused on advising and researching fast-growing companies, is proud to serve as the event's primary sponsor.

Chris Lahiji, President of LD MICRO, commented: "The number of attendees and firms presenting at our Main Event is expected to set a record. Even in the current market environment, investors want to see a differentiated group of high-quality names with distinctive products and services that receive little to no coverage in the institutional investment community. LD MICRO and Merriman Capital share a common purpose: to help investors find opportunities in today's emerging-growth companies, which we believe are the market leaders of tomorrow. LD MICRO remains true to its original goal of finding, researching and investing in companies that have great potential and are undiscovered."
