The Security Traders Association of New York (STANY) will hold its 82^nd annual conference on April 19^th from 7:30 am to 9 pm at the New York Stock Exchange.

The confab is the affiliate’s premier event which features thought provoking panels and speakers, opportunities to network and make meaningful business connections in the securities and financial services industry and a charity component.

Also, STANY continues its philanthropic mission – this year focusing on Cody Strong for a Cure.

Their mission is to support and improve the lives of children battling pediatric cancer and drive research for a cure.  All money raised by STANY will go to support children with cancer and their families, and fund pediatric cancer research.
