- Topic: Business Transitions for Privately Held Companies
- Session Description: Owners of every successful privately held company eventually must decide on a business transition – either retain the business (i.e., transfer ownership to the next generation), or monetize it (options include a sale to a private equity firm or strategic buyer). In this session, we will provide an overview of the middle-market transaction environment (touching M&A and credit markets, and financial sponsor activity), key long-term objectives and challenges facing a private business owner, ownership transition options, the M&A process, and more.

- Speaker: Alec Grant, Managing Director & Head of Client Fraud Prevention, JPMorgan Chase & Co
- Topic: Cybersecurity and Fraud Prevention
- Session Description: A review of the latest trends and examples of fraud schemes including cyber-attacks and ransomware, what to do if and when your company becomes the target of an attack, and best practices for companies to protect themselves.

- Speakers: Marco Villegas, Vice President, Global Philanthropy – JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Benjamin Sio, Chief of Staff and Senior Vice President of Strategy, Policy and Planning – CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity and Simeon Banister, President and CEO - Rochester Area Community Foundation
- Topic: New Direction for I90 Corridor: Building a Competitive and Equitable Business Ecosystem
- Session Description: It’s important that decision makers and influencers within their organizations have a key understanding of their company’s ESG policy, their ESG investment plans, and the impact of those investments in the region. In this session, JPMorgan will moderate a panel of speakers that will include Benjamin Sio from CenterState CEO, as well as Simeon Banister from the Rochester Area Community Foundation to expand on persistent gaps in the small business ecosystem, collaboration opportunities across the region, and the tech hub application and implications for the region.
As a highlighted example, CenterState CEO solidified and activated a regional partnership across public and private sector to create conditions for new business growth, with a focus on developing economic opportunities in growing sectors. Their collaboration ultimately contributed to Micron’s $100 billion commitment to the region.
Along with state government, community foundations, and private sector, CenterState CEO has been working on an application for up to $75 million in Federal grants for tech hubs across the region and have been working closely with Micron on building out the inclusive supplier network across the region.
