Private Companies

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com,
will host its 30th Annual Growth Stock Conference March 11-14,
2018, at The Ritz Carlton, located at 1 Ritz Carlton Drive, Dana Point,
Calif.

ROTH’s flagship four-day investment conference brings together
executives from more than 500 public and private companies and
approximately 1,000 investors. The event provides attendees with
investment ideas across a variety of sectors, including Business
Services, Consumer, Cannabis, Cleantech & Industrial Growth, Energy,
Healthcare, Health & Wellness, Oil & Gas, Mining, and Technology &
Media. Company presentations, Q&A sessions, panels, and one-on-one
meetings offer investor clients opportunities for extensive interaction
with executive management to gain in-depth insights into each business
and sector.

“The ROTH Conference provides participants with a unique opportunity to
gain insight into emerging growth companies across a variety of sectors,
while also enjoying themselves in a beautiful setting. This is our
flagship conference, and we look forward to this event each year,” said
Byron Roth, CEO of ROTH.

The conference will formally commence with two plenary presentations – keynote
featuring Dan Goldin, the former head of NASA, discussing the
application of Artificial Intelligence, and a panel presenting an
overview of blockchain technology and its use with cryptocurrency and
other financial applications.

As in prior years, ROTH’s research and banking teams have assembled a
number of panels designed to educate and promote sector-specific
discussions during the Monday and Tuesday sessions.

Advancements in Healthcare

Additionally, the charitable aspect of the event continues to grow again
this year. On Saturday night, March 10th, the Roth brothers will receive
the Athletes First Classic Golden Heart Award benefitting the
Orangewood Foundation, www.orangewoodfoundation.org.
The Athletes First Classic has helped raise millions of dollars for
abused and neglected children as they transition through their teen and
young adult years. ROTH is proud to partner with Athletes First during
Sunday’s golf, tailgate and evening concert.

For the seventh year in a row, ROTH is featuring physical activities
(bike, spin, tennis, and yoga) on Social Sunday to support Challenged
Athletes Foundation (CAF), http://www.challengedathletes.org.
CAF supports people with physical challenges by providing the
opportunity and access to sports and physical activity. The funds raised
support individual grants for sports expenses not covered by insurance,
such as adaptive sports equipment (e.g. prosthetic running feet,
handcycles, sport wheelchairs, coaching, mentoring and competition
travel). “With the generous help of our clients, over $930,000 has been
raised to support CAF, a cause that our brother, Duane, was very
passionate about. We are hoping to top the $1 million level at this
year’s conference,” said Ted Roth.
