The overwhelming success of the 2009 statewide “Microfinance, CA” conference demonstrated the
enthusiasm among various players in the private and public sectors for a gathering to exchange ideas
and resources to grow domestic microfinance. Microfinance USA will continue to mobilize those
involved in and curious about domestic microfinance to help expand the scale and scope of financial
services available to small businesses across America. The two‐day event will showcase on a national
level how microfinance produces jobs, increases incomes, and creates opportunities to build stable and
sustainable communities.
Expanding on the energy and momentum generated by the 2009 conference, Microfinance USA will
bring together 800 ‐ 1,000 investors, policymakers, social entrepreneurs, practitioners, small business
owners, and curious individuals to engage with microfinance strategies and practices unique to the
United States. Participants will deepen their understanding of U.S. microfinance and broaden their
networks through interactive panels and workshops, tours of microfinance borrowers, and networking
opportunities.
