Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP and Marcum LLP Sponsor ROTH Capital Partners 26th Annual Growth Stock Conference March 9-12, 2014

Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (MarcumBP), an international group of professionals providing audit and assurance, tax and transaction advisory services, and Marcum LLP, one of the largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms in the nation, today announce their participation as Gold sponsors of the ROTH Capital Partners 26th Annual Growth Stock Conference being held March 9-12, 2014 at The Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, CA.

Drew Bernstein, Co-Managing partner of MarcumBP, will lead a group of senior MarcumBP executives attending the conference. The group members have decades of experience providing audit and assurance, tax and transaction advisory services to publicly-quoted growth companies in a variety of industries throughout the world.

“Over many years the Roth conference has been a leading indicator of the direction of investor interest. In recent years, investors, while still in search of great growth stories, have been increasingly demanding in terms of the standards of disclosure, transparency and corporate governance they expect from the companies in which they invest. As a leader in providing advice to growth companies, Marcum is looking forward to meeting those wishing to raise their game in the capital markets,” said Mr. Bernstein. “We, as a leading presence in China are particularly encouraged to see a return of investor interest in China-based companies,” he added.

“The Roth Conference is the first flagship event of the year for investors looking for growth opportunities and for those following the growth industry. It is a benchmark for what we can expect to see in our SEC Practice during the remainder of the year and paves the way for the Marcum MicroCap Conference in May,” said David C. Bukzin, Partner-In-Charge of Marcum LLP’s New York City office and National Leader of the Firm’s SEC Services Practice. The 2014 Marcum MicroCap Conference will take place on May 29.

ROTH’s OC Growth Stock Conference brings together executives from more than 400 growth companies and over 1,000 buy-side investors. The conference will feature company presentations, Q&A sessions, expert panels and thousands of management 1-on-1/small group meetings, in one of the largest conferences of its kind in the U.S. This event is designed to provide investors with a unique opportunity to gain insight into emerging growth companies across a variety of sectors, including Cleantech, Consumer & Retail, Energy & Industrial, Enterprise Software, Healthcare, Resources, Semiconductors & Electronics, Services and Technology & Media.
