The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Independent Stock Market to host a Capital and Investment Conference in October.

The event will feature Adam Brandley, Founder and CEO of Independent Stock Market, who will address how he takes existing businesses public.

Brandley will also give an in-depth view of what the Independent Stock Market is and its benefits to businesses as well as investors.

The conference will be held throughout the day on Thursday, October 5th from 9 a.m. to 11:15 p.m.

Businesses may eventually have a chance to be on the new show airing in the spring, America’s Real Deal, where viewers can purchase products through an app and/or invest in companies.

Those in attendance will have the opportunity to pitch their businesses, privately, to Brandley, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 5th and also on Friday, October 6th, from 9:00 a.m.to 2:00 p.m.
