Noble Capital Markets’ plans are set for its sixteenth
annual NobleCon investor conference to be held at the
New Hard Rock, South Florida, February 2020

June 14, 2019 – Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Noble Capital Markets (Noble) announced today that its sixteenth annual investor conference (NobleCon16) featuring emerging growth public companies will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Hard Rock) in Hollywood, Florida, February 16-18, 2020.

The multi-sector NobleCon has become the preeminent showcase of emerging growth companies that attracts a broad cross-section of investors including institutions, family offices, Registered Investment Advisor representatives, self-directed investors, independent brokers and high-net-worth individuals. NobleCon utilizes four tracks for companies to present to investors – running simultaneously in half-hour intervals – with total representation strictly limited to 125 public companies. Qualified attending investors will be offered one-on-one opportunities in addition to the formal presentations made by the c-suite executive teams. Significant keynote addresses, provocative panel presentations led by key opinion leaders, and large-scale networking events round out the schedule. Attendance will be limited to 1,000.

The first NobleCon, close to fifteen years ago, was held at this Hard Rock. Both NobleCon and Hard Rock Hollywood have more than tripled in size over that time frame. “We were one of the first conferences to be held at the then brand new Hard Rock and this will again be true in 2020,” said Mark Pinvidic, Managing Partner at Noble. The $1.5-billion, 3.2 million-sq-ft expansion, scheduled to be completed this October, will increase the room-count from 469 to 1267, including 638 rooms (each over 500-sq-ft) in first-in-the-world, guitar-shaped tower, a new 6,500-seat Hard Rock Live, 36 new restaurants bars and lounges, expanded casino floor, resort pools covering close to 20 acres and the expansion of conference facilities by five times from what was available for NobleCon1. “Hard Rock was a fantastic host for a total of six NobleCons – one of which was opened with a keynote address by Hard Rock International CEO, Jim Allen – but we simply outgrew it. We’re excited for the 2020 reunion in this remarkable location,” said Pinvidic. The 40,000-sq-ft allocated to NobleCon will include four, 2,000-sq-ft presentation rooms featuring 8’X12’ UHD laser projection screens, over 9,000-sq-ft dedicated to one-on-one meetings, and 17,000-sq-ft for keynote addresses, receptions and networking, sponsors, and the serving of breakfasts and lunches. Hard Rock has several acres of free parking and is located about 12 minutes west of Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport.
