Dodd, D-Conn., and former House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., will deliver a joint keynote address at the firm's annual summit scheduled for Dec. 10-13 in Las Vegas. "We are honored to have these distinguished leaders join us at this year's event,” said Brian Hamburger, founder and managing director of MarketCounsel, in a statement. “We set out to host a conversation among industry leaders and I can think of no other speakers better suited to lead the conversation." On Dec. 10, InvestmentNews will host a pre-conference workshop highlighting the results of its compensation and staffing study.
