Paul Schott Stevens and his team will wrap up the Investment Company Institute's (ICI's) 60th annual General Membership Meeting (GMM) this morning at the Washington Hilton with a half day of sessions, largely featuring speakers from outside the industry. The 2018 ICI GMM began on Tuesday and continued yesterday.

A breakfast session is already underway, featuring ICI chief Stevens interviewing Michael Piwowar, a Republican SEC commissioner. Earlier this month, Piwowar revealed that he will resign by July 7 or when a successor is sworn in, whichever comes first.

Next up will be a session about technology disruptors. Tom Eck, chief technology officer for industry platforms at IBM, will speak on "Embracing Change: Artificial Intelligence and the Cloud." And Adam Jonas, managing director and analyst at Morgan Stanley, will speak on "The Future of Transportation."

Finally, NASA astronaut Jerry Linenger (also a retired U.S. Navy captain and flight surgeon who spent nearly five months on the Russian space station Mir) will deliver the final keynote address, entitled "Challenges and Change: My 132 Days Off the Planet."

The 61st ICI GMM will again be held in Washington, D.C., May 1-3, 2019.
