GCC, which features multiple two-day comprehensive interactive tracks with top crowdfunding experts, focuses on teaching attendees how to raise money in equity-, rewards- and donation-based crowdfunding and on what to look for to be a successful investor under the new regulation crowdfunding rules of the Jobs Act. For “newbies” and those familiar with crowdfunding, these classes will help them gain the knowledge, connections, tools and information on new technologies used to achieve success and raise the capital or funding they need.

“It is estimated that crowdfunding will add at least $65 billion into the global economy in 2016, and with its current growth rate, at least $3.2 trillion by 2020,” said Ruth E. Hedges, executive producer, GCC. “As the first and longest running crowdfunding convention in the world, we have had a very big impact on the growth of this booming industry, and by joining forces with The LaunchPad Agency, we are now set to provide an even better experience for attendees wanting to learn from and network with top crowdfunding industry professionals!”

As part of the experience, GCC will feature an exciting, interactive 15,000 sq.ft. Expo and Crowdfunding Marketplace that showcases top industry service providers and the year’s top crowdfunded products, offering attendees and investors alike the opportunity to meet the All-Stars who made them happen. The interactive expo will be broken down into the following fun areas:

Fashion Alley: a Runway to show off successfully crowdfunded clothing

Music on Stage: hear successfully crowdfunded music

Gamers Play Area: see and play crowdfunded videogames and board games

Open Mic stage: check out startups launching live rewards campaigns

Video Presentations: startups showcase their crowdfunding videos and do a Q&A with people seated around that stage.

Artists Alley: a full section dedicated to successfully crowdfunded artworks, comics and published books.
